Thanks JD. I only read the highlights but it seems on point. I’m lucky to live in the mearns which is Scotland’s bread basket. Great local meat, local fish, local veg.

Jacdaw doesn't like to be reminded that as part of reducing our emissions, we ***all*** must eat much less meat.

(one paper doesn't change the consensus view from the experts in the field)

^^ That, however, is a good point.

I've seen other studies about using urine in other industrial processes too.

Don’t do it.

Don’t do it.

Don’t do it…

But that’s just taking the p**s.

I read an interesting article about the impact of dog poo on the environment, in my Dutch newspaper. There are now so many of them in the Netherlands, it is becoming an issue in the woods and parks.

Dogs on a standard meat-heavy diet have a larger CO2 footprint than SUVs (whole lifecycle inc embodied CO2).

And the bigger the dog, the bigger the footprint.

Our pets also need to eat less meat.

Hi
I've seen environment (whether emissions, power, climate change, access to countryside, whatever you think of as "environment") discussed in various threads: Politics (obviously), the Electric Car thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/electric-car-anyone-61481/ , run free's excellent "Competitive Running and Keeping The Environment Clean" fetcheveryone.com/forum/running-competitively-keeping-our-environment-clean-60907/ my own Greta Thunberg thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/greta-thunberg---jfk-for-the-climate-generation-61044/ etc. but I haven't seen a general one.

So here it is. For those interested in the science, the politics, the action for (and I'll state that for me, this is mostly pro-environment, anti-emissions, anti-pollution etc.) and the hope for the future of our planet.
