Hi Everyone,
"According to a new report published by the United Nations Food and
Agriculture organization, the livestock sector generates more
greenhouse gas emissions as measured in CO2 equivalent -- 18 percent
-- than transport.
Henning Steinfeld, Chief of FAO's Livestock Information & Policy
Branch and senior author of the report says: "Livestock are one of the
most significant contributors to today's most serious environmental
problems. Urgent action is required to remedy the situation."
