Great time to start thinking about growing your own! Food prices are set to rise due to reduced yields across Europe so its a good time to learn some growing skills and enjoy veg and fruit fresh from the garden! Lots of help available locally from the amazing Incredible Edible.

So approximately 1.5 billion cows in the world, all burping out methane and pooing a lot! How much is something we asked Matthias at Breeze to help us to calculate, and he got us off to a great start..Thanks Matthias!
Each cow produces on average 30kg of manure per day, so thats about 10 tons a year.
Multiplied by 1.5 billion cows thats a lot of manure....about 15 billion tons!
Worse still it contains nitrous oxide, another powerful greenhouse gas. So rearing cows to satisfy increasing demand for meat uses a lot of land, a lot of water and produces lots of methane and nitrous oxide which contribute to global warming.
Good enough reasons to eat less meat?
