I am in a similar position, a vegetarian in a meat eating family. My husband has adjusted his diet a lot to be more vegetarian for similar reasons as you have outlined. Going through the difficult process of slaughtering animals has been a life changing experience.

I look forward to reading your posts about rocket stoves, its certainly an interesting technology! I would like to build one in a specially built winter greenhouse, I've been thinking about it for a while but we have so many things to get done first.
