Mfw cows are producing 300 times as much methane as there is plastic being produced in total: 😐
Check the actual numbers before getting so concerned.
@FaceDeer @Bebo @mqvisionary @IMongoose I just love how not doing bad stuff is too hard, so we spend lots of time and effort trying to fix the problems created by doing bad stuff.
YFW you don’t even check the numbers you are chastising me for not checking and are wildly incorrect 🤡:
https://www.statista.com/topics/5401/global-plastic-waste/#topicOverview
400 million metric tons of plastic per year produced
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1261318/cattle-methane-emissions-worldwide/
75 million metric tons of methan from cow farts per year
