Food carbon footprint - more than just meat
This is a great graph!! Note the source: Bon Appétit Management Co. Foundation, Ecotrust at the Dahlhousie University and UC Davis. This graph was also in an article by Raoul Rañoa of Los Angeles Times. You can see his article here. Note that greenhouse gas emissions are measured in CO2-e, which are grams of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions. The figure above given is per 6-ounce portion.
Like yesterday’s posting - beef has a large carbon footprint; but it’s more interesting to see how much larger beef’s carbon footprint is comparing to some other food.
Another supporting document for saving climate change one piece of meat at a time!
