[QUOTE="Sandpit Farm, post: 7345217, member: 1646"] Hmm maybe, I have no idea actually what the figure would be... but I did read that it was 10% from Agriculture. Let's remember that that refers to Greenhouse Gases rather than 'pollution' under it's much wider label. I wonder if it is something to do with the type of gases emitted by farming containing more methane which is 25x the carbon equivalent of carbon dioxide but taking 30 yrs to breakdown. As GHGs are measured in carbon equivalents - that is probably why figures from farming look like 5- or 10% or whatever it is. Nitrous Oxides are 298x the carbon equivalent of CO2 - which does make it seem a bit odd. It may be worth checking with them. I can't actually find on the website where you say it says 5% (but I can never find anything :rolleyes: ). I guess just because it seems unnecessarily high for farming doesn't mean it isn't true... I'd certainly hope it was true for an evidence based organisation. [/QUOTE]
