Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) turns 43 today. It's a good day to check out his impressive voting record (8th-most progressive, according to Progressive Punch):

On his special day, he's thinking not about himself, but future generations. Here's what he posted on Facebook and Twitter:
According to the WorldWatch Institute, livestock and their byproducts account for 51% of all worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time animal agriculture is the leading cause of water pollution, habitat destruction and ocean dead zones. This is a problem that must be solved if we intend to protect our planet for our children and grandchildren.
If you appreciate this message or Brian's record, why not tweet him a birthday greeting:
