Myth:<\/strong> Cars are one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gas.<\/p>\n

Reality:<\/strong> Yes, but those hamburgers you like to gobble down are actually much worse.<\/p>\n

A report by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization cited livestock, and especially beef, as a major source of greenhouse gas, generating more than transportation.<\/p>\n

Meat accounts for 18% of the greenhouse gases the world produces every year, compared with 13% for vehicles. Other studies put that percentage even higher.<\/p>\n

“Beef is the biggest ecological no-no,” says Anna Lappe, author of Diet for a Hot Planet<\/em> and a board member of the Rainforest Action Network. “Cattle require the most feed to produce a pound of meat, and as ruminants, the animals emit methane gases during digestion.” — D.T. <\/em><\/div>\n
