Eat more beef to save the planet

[hunter]

6. Here's a "regenerative rancher" in the U.S.A.

Is it possible to save the planet by eating a steak? Controversial, to be sure, given the massive amounts of the global-warming methane gas produced by cattle. The idea that cattle could have an integral role in decreasing carbon dioxide in the air seems to go against everything we have been hearing lately. But ask a regenerative rancher, and they will tell you otherwise. It turns out, it’s all about growing soil. And one such soil farmer has taken up residence at the historic EE-DA-HO ranch in Bellevue, Idaho.

Werner Morawitz has had quite an unlikely path to becoming a grower of soil. But it seems that for Werner, all roads have led to EE-DA-HO. A convergence of his life’s work in environmental science, finance, and a desire to create a sustainable environmental model locally and beyond has manifested itself in his current work on the ranch.

Same caveats as my post above. Professional greenwashers extraordinaire, Amory Lovins and Hunter Lovins, are both mentioned in this article. ( I had some encounters with both of them in my angry idealistic bridge-burning youth. )

I'm still looking forward to a future when the most popular fast food burgers are made without meat.

I'm not confident free markets can solve our most pressing environmental problems.
