DISQUS

hello, just surfing a few of the blog action bloggers. your comment on livestock is very interesting. i'd be interested to find out whether that applies to all forms of livestock husbandry or only to the bigger, more "efficient" ones.

Thanks for getting involved in Blog Action Day! That was something I didn't know about the methane produced by livestock animals. This is the reason why causes like these are so important--to get the word out about things that need to change. Thank you for doing your part!

Hey Jake!

Methane as a by product is a tremendous problem. I too have begun to avoid substances which increase my own production of methane. :) Sorry, I couldn't resist...

One other point to consider is that naturally occurring methane is actually of considerable danger as well. Some say it contributes more to the problem than livestock. Beneath parts of the gulf of Mexico are fields filled methane trapped in ice (methane hydrates) from which permeates methane. These hydrates are quite plentiful around the earth.

Eat more tofu! (I can already see the Chick-Fil-a cows painting these signs...)
