[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 7065445, member: 42914"] Most of it I agree with really. At least in saying this: "[I]Around 80% of deforestation is caused by agriculture – the majority of it to grow commodities that we all consume. We have to be sure that when we import those commodities we do not import deforestation[/I]" he didn't just blame livestock for once. and his comment that: "[I]If you look at they commodities which we import, and forget everything else, they alone increase the UK’s environmental footprint by 80-90%[/I]" is well made.
