Gomez Corner

Agriculture is responsible for an estimated 14 percent of the world's greenhouse gases. A significant portion of these emissions come from methane, which, in terms of its contribution to global warming, is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. The U.S. Food and Agriculture Organization says that agricultural methane output could increase by 60 percent by 2030 [Source: Times Online]. The world's 1.5 billion cows and billions of other grazing animals emit dozens of polluting gases, including lots of methane. Two-thirds of all ammonia comes from cows.


In response to this our learned friend Justin "Gomez" Roberts would like to save our planet by simply:

"Kill a Cow, Save The Planet"

He has assured me that his single minded environmental crusade has meant his meat intake is on the up. The cow world refer to him as "mmoomooo" roughly translated as the "the sworn enemy of the cow empire"
