The concentration of carbon dioxide, the most important greenhouse gas, is now 50% higher than before the Industrial Revolution sparked the mass burning of fossil fuels. Methane levels have more than doubled since 1750. All key greenhouse gases (GHG) rose faster in 2020 than the average for the previous decade and this trend has continued in 2021, the WMO report found. » yall better start eating LOCAL and ORGANIC foods 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s actually the biggest factor about greenhouse emissions for food and in general btw so this is a huge lie I had a lesson about this topic (the factors) last week btw 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we do is essentially pointless;we have a very small impact in the grand scale of things. Obviously we should still be as sustainable as possible but that won’t be the main solution. To me, switching the type of food we consume (i.e. switching more from meat to plants) is much more effective than cutting down on transportation emissions. And yes, there's only so much we can do.

If you buy local foods from your own territory for example you won’t participate to this very polluted transportation In the biggest supermarkets fructs, vegetables, meat...etc come from everywhere on the planet and so they traveled with polluted transports Plus we need to respect the weather season Cause of course if you live in England but you buy tomatoes from Spain during the winter... no sense at all 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenG Pop-a-911-ster 37,324 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Looking at transportation alone is very myopic. The argument completely ignores opportunity costs and by extension, comparative advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
