Interesting article:
BEEF Daily Quick Fact: Leading authorities agree that, in the U.S., raising cattle and pigs for food accounts for about 3 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, while transportation creates an estimated 26 percent. (Source: UC Davis)

Well here is a refreshing statement: “Smarter animal farming, not less farming, will equal less heat. Producing less meat and milk will only mean more hunger in poor countries,” said UC Davis Associate Professor and Air Quality Specialist Frank Mitloehner in a press release, Don’t Blame Cows For Climate Change, sent out by UC Davis News Service. Referencing false claims about agriculture’s connection to global warming, this is a great article to educate consumers about the rumors they are hearing in the media. Of course, as we already knew and understood, it’s not about the cow burps; it’s about us. If we want to improve the environment, it is up to us as consumers to renew, reuse, recycle.
