By the way, methane emissions by cows outweigh whatever environmental savings can be made by eliminating coal, so I say if we want to save the planet we should eat burgers every night until all the cows are dead and then we can drive coal-powered cars.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-62180329261585032302014-01-14T01:16:49.640-05:002014-01-14T01:16:49.640-05:00A half-acre of alfalfa per person?

As..."Lies, damn lies, and statistics." <br /><br />As I see it, for every hamburger I eat, I'm removing (at least part of) a cow and all it's farts from our endangered ecosystem. As a "thank you" you'd think the Environmental Working Group would at least throw in the fries. ;)<br /><br />SLowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-79964079643769638142014-01-13T12:31:48.409-05:002014-01-13T12:31:48.409-05:00I always thought an assertion yet to be proven was...I always thought an assertion yet to be proven was a theory.

These calculations are usually referred to as the "carbon footprint" of a person or thing If that working group is anything like the students I met, they could tell you exactly which make and model car they meant. but anyone reporting on their activities will zone out and just say "a car." As for the hamburger, I don't even like to think about the agricultural practices that make it worrisome; I like to pretend that any burger I eat was created by meat fairies.
