"Saving the world" is quite a complex task but I'll give you several arguments to become a vegetarian.

1) Reducing cruelty on the planet. Surely eliminating billions of violent unnecessary slaughters will help make the planet more peaceful. According to macrobiotic theory, meat consumption makes one more aggressive.

2) Conserving resources--Most food grown in the U.S. goes to livestock. Vast amounts of water and energy go into the meat industry.

3) Reducing pollution--Livestock produce more greenhouse gases than do all the cars in the world. Methane gas, which is produced by animals, is twenty times as greenhouse-inducing as is carbon dioxide. Animal waste is a major source of pollution. Many people who live near factory farms have initiated lawsuits against factory farms for the levels of pollution that the farms produce.

4) Saving your health--Heart disease and cancer are two of the deadliest killers of Americans. The chances of developing either are greatly reduced by reducing animal products in your diet.

It really depends on the person. Religous beliefs can change someone's opinon, along with other factors. If you are a vegetarian, you tend to get less iron but you do save some to a lot of animals, depending on how much meat you normally comsumed.
