Whereas giving up steak once a week allegedly would save 270kg of CO2 per year.

Something is hinky here.

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
