He’s holding his flatulence in. If all 8 billion humans hold our flatulence in we can reduce methane release by 72 metric tons a year. As I jokingly typed this

As I jokingly typed this comment I googled to see how much methane was released per day by a human and there’s actually quite a bit of interest in it. A sort of interesting post linked below about cows with some data regarding cow numbers. I always thought blaming cows was ‘bullshit’ given how many more bison used to be in NA before our illustrious ancestors decided to obliterate them for idiot reasons:

- smileysteve 3y agoIt's actually cow burps. And a slight diet change to include a red seaweed has shown to decrease methane produced by cows by 80% https://caes.ucdavis.edu/news/feeding-cattle-seaweed-reduces-their-greenhouse-gas-emissions-82-percent https://caes.ucdavis.edu/news/feeding-cattle-seaweed-reduces... This is another way decreasing meat consumption can help humans, high fiber diets, with less red meat reduce our personal emissions.
- jongjong 3y agoI'm in favor of meat consumption because I believe that cows deserve to live. Without us eating their meat, much fewer cows would be born. I believe that cows are our friends, we need them and they deserve to be given a chance at life and a noble death... When death cometh for them (with a little help from our friendly local butcher), their bodies ought to be respectfully incinerated and then buried between two buns along with a slice of cheese and ketchup.
