There are various ways to look at problems with greenhouse gases. The livestock-sectoris produces 37% of all human-induced methane. You can try to convince people to eat less meat, but another possibility is putting the cows on a diet. Stonyfield farmes put 74 cows on a diet of less corn and soy based feeds and more flaxseed and alphalpha which are closer to the spring grasses that cows naturally eat.
” The cows have been on this Green Mountain diet since January of this year and they are already reporting positive results. As of mid May, the farmers are reporting an average reduction in the cows’ methane emissions of 12% and reductions as high as 18%. They have also found that the new diet not only inclreases milk production, the milk has higher concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids (good) and lower concentrations of saturated fat (bad).”
