Eat Less Factory-Farmed Red Meats
The fifth major human cause of Global warming is the production of livestock.
Other important gasses which cause the Greenhouse effect are Methane (CH4) and laughing gas (N2O).
These two gasses get mostly produced by agriculture due to fertilization of the ground.
The gasses can be found in the digestion of many livestock animals such as cows, pigs and chicken.
Cutting back on red meats and eating more fruits, vegetables and plant based meats is a great way to decrease carbon emissions.
