Green - An environmentalist community

OK this article is infuriating, as is the product it's hyping up.

If 2.5% of our emissions is going toward feeding 4 billion people then I'm totally fine with letting those emissions continue. This isn't a thing we need to "solve," this reeks of a capitalist looking at graphs of our emissions and going "we could cut emissions by 1% here and not have to actually change our habits at all!" This isn't the problem causing climate change.

The energy sector accounts for over 70% of our emissions. Instead of trying to stop emitting less than 1% by pouring money into genetically manipulating plants to need less fertilizer, why don't we instead cut 30% or more by replacing coal plants with solar, wind, and nuclear power?

If everyone went plant based we would need much much less farmland and thus need way less fertilizer.

I like notill gardening. You don't need any chemical fertilizers. Grows great pot 🤌

High tech technology, aka humans, can also decide not to use it

We could just stop using it... no need for a technological fix.

Dora the explorer: can we fix it ? yes we can!

Don't tell the editor how much human poop is wasted
