Well every other bigger under the sun seems to be buying the co2 by product storing food killing pigs and putting bubbles in drinks but we have to account for it when we buy the fertiliser.

...some of 'em will turn a bit of it into methane, I guess….and all they do when they open the fizzy drink is release it straight into the atmosphere…!
I seem to remember being asked if I used UK nitrogen or imported when I completed my Arla carbon audit and UK had lower footprint as the manufacture process emits less CO2…. Could be wrong thoughWell every other bigger under the sun seems to be buying the co2 by product storing food killing pigs and putting bubbles in drinks but we have to account for it when we buy the fertiliser.
Same as we have to account for the methane produced by our cows Recyling the waste from the crop and veg industry like wheat gluten, rape seed meal, sugar beet pulp, biscuit waste, wrong sized carrots etc etcWell every other bigger under the sun seems to be buying the co2 by product storing food killing pigs and putting bubbles in drinks but we have to account for it when we buy the fertiliser.
It’s ridiculous, they cut it down for the wood first, then it’s cropped for few years, soy and maize for ethanol more than for human or animal feed. Then when the soil has been raped(sorry for using stupid, over emotional vegan language) of its nutrients by several years of cropping, cattle appear.Yep and all that rainforest is cut down for beef - not hardwood
Thought the cattle went in 1st before the crops! Didn't realise it was the other way around! Thought they pushed the cattle on into the new ground and cropped the ground that the cattle had conditionedIt’s ridiculous, they cut it down for the wood first, then it’s cropped for few years, soy and maize for ethanol more than for human or animal feed.

So to say it’s cleared for ranching is highly debatable, but there is no debate with vegans!
No, cattle go in and make the most of what’s left after the soya crop.Thought the cattle went in 1st before the crops! Didn't realise it was the other way around! Thought they pushed the cattle on into the new ground and cropped the ground that the cattle had conditioned
Rainforest soil is basically sand, once the trees go, it soon dies. You need ruminants and their dung to make the type of soil we have here or on the prairies etc.Thought the cattle went in 1st before the crops! Didn't realise it was the other way around!

So why did I read about Bolsonaro's law a while ago? That's what they called the fact that they're not allowed to crop it for the first two years after forest clearance but they then sell the land on to the soy famers after the cattle have grazed for huge sums.No, cattle go in and make the most of what’s left after the soya crop.
