Most people don’t realize that conventional dairy already has been focused on sustainability, we just don’t advertise

- We sequester carbon with the crops growing for the cows

- We use organic fertilizer from the cows instead on relying on synthetic fertilizers

- We recycle all our water to grow crops for the cows

- Cows up-cycle food byproducts into usable nutrition that would otherwise go to a landfill

Cows are a valuable part of the earths ecology and ecosystems. Many dairy farms today are installing methane digesters- that take cow manure, capture the emissions, and make renewable power. Installing these systems make dairies carbon negative meaning they are taking out more emissions than they are creating.

Don’t forget to workout your calves

The truth about cows and the environment

Cows account for less than 4% of GHG emmisions in the U.S. while crops produce 4.8%

Cows take worthless grass/cellulose (that people can’t digest) and convert to nutrient dense foods. Without cows, you would need significantly more plant agriculture/ and environmental resources i.e. land, water

As a result changing your diet to vegan will only reduce your environmental impact as much as reducing 1 transatlantic flight

People forget though that cows are an important part of the earths ecology and nessesary- they perform an important function.

Methane from cows remains constant in the atmosphere— 10-15yrs— while C02 from fossil fuels accumulate in the environment— C02 lasts 100yrs. The key to reducing our environmental impact is not from changing our diet but reducing our dependence on fossils fuels

Dairy farmers in the U.S. have reduced their environmental impact 63% over the last 65 years. They’ve been able to produce more milk with less cows.

And many farmers today are working to convert the methane to renewable energy. Implementing this technology on dairy farms will allow these farms to become carbon-negative. Meaning they’ll be pulling more carbon out of the system than they put in- while producing renewable energy and food.

Cows have the potential to be the great change makers in our society

Cows can change our world for the better

It’s feeling like a whisker Wednesday

Double rainbow so intense
