Save The Planet? Eat Kangaroo!!!
Ever wonder the dark secret behind the innocent victims (cows, sheep, goats) of humanity's appetite for meat? Put aside cars, planes, power stations, or even the world's worst greenhouse gas emitters, these "victims" continuous belching (farting) is warming our planet! For example, New Zealand, the great meat and milk supplier, 48% of the country's greenhouse gasses emitted in the form of methane and nitrous oxide. Worldwide, livestock burps are responsible for 18% of the greenhouse gas emission (more than produced from all forms of transports combined). One tonne of the gas as to be compared to equivalent amount of carbon dioxide, has 25 times stronger global warming potential. Rising population expected to double the demand for meat n milk by 2050. Which means greenhouse gasses produced by livestock will be doubled. Apart from all of us turnig into vegetarian diets, what else can be done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock? Here's a suggestion instead......Eat Kangaroo!! *as kangaroo do not emit methane*
