the economist had an interesting graphic about this recently. basically beef and dairy are the worst. -- (link) - mafic Apr 25, 17:44
If 1m people in Fraser Health are on inhalers, and it's kicking 8,800 tonnes into the air every year, that's 8.8kg/person - Beryllium Apr 25, 17:44 9
- 1 kg of beef produces ~25-75kg of CO2 equivalent, depending on a whole pile of crap. -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 17:51 6
  - I guess I shouldn't feel too bad about not having had steak for, well, half a decade. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 17:53 3
    - (But, unfortunately, quite a bit of ground beef, at least relative to that steak amount.) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 17:54 2
      - all my beef comes from someone down the road, so at least there's essentially no transit cost to it, but that's only like a couple percent off. -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 18:04
      - the only meat I get is a little pepperoni or pastrami, a burger once every month or two. Only dairy is a bit (ha) of cheese -- nm - mud ♪ Apr 25, 17:56

- not to mention the methane released by cow farts -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 25, 17:45
- Actually they don't even say "per year" for the inhalers, they indicate it's for the entire 5-year period. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 17:45
