Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 We should all also be familiar with the article from World Watch magazine that shows that the livestock industry is actually responsible for 51% - a majority - of greenhouse gases. Check it out at 51percent.org ...and also check out my Eco-Eating at www.brook.com/veg which is dedicated to environmental and other issues (the main site is having a problem now and i apologize for that inconvenience). Peace, Dan Halsey Sam <samhalsey (AT) mac (DOT) com> From a Vegetarian perspective, How has the carbon foot print of Americans changed from the late 1800's through 1945 to the present ? "BAV list mail" , , SFLivingFoods Monday, April 26, 2010, 11:20 AM Hi everyone, We need some help My niece, has asked me for some help on her paper. I mentioned the largest contribution to green house gasses is animal agriculture. I referenced to her the United Nations Study, The Long Shadow of Animal Agriculture. This was a big surprise to her. And seems like a great opportunity for her to find out for herself how damaging the standard american diet is to the environment. Please let me know if any of you know and good facts or sources of how, from a Vegetarian perspective, the carbon foot print of Americans changed from the late 1800's through 1945 to the present?
