Are Livestock Responsible for 51% of Greenhouse Gas Emissions?

Adam Stein

New report makes questionable claim Conventional wisdom has it that meat production is responsible for about 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions - a shocking enough figure as it is. But lately a much higher number has been circulating, with some claiming that meat is responsible for an astonishing 51% of worldwide emissions. Some skepticism is in order here, so I went looking for the source of the figure. It appears to be this recent report from the Worldwatch Institute. Long story...

The Future of Environmental Law Mapping

WorldChanging Team

By Laurent Granier Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and mapping offer great opportunities for the transfer of legal data from books to maps. GIS applications have been evolving in many directions, well beyond geography. Many fields such as environmental economics, social science, health science and administration are now aggregated with scientific representations. The methods for environmental and social mapping are now participatory too. Together, these tools offer new, integrated...

Meat: Not on the Menu of the Future says Lord Stern

Sarah Kuck

Any passionate vegetarian can quickly tell you why eating meat contributes to global warming: methane from cow farts and carbon from deforestation for cattle land and cattle crops are a significant source (18 percent) of global carbon emissions. Faced with facts like these, it's no wonder that that climate advocates, such Lord Nicholas Stern, are speaking out against eating meat. Recently Lord Stern told The Times Online: "Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse...

Towards Hackable Architecture

Ethan Zuckerman

My presentation at Applied Brilliance today was a quick version of my Innovation from Constraint talk, a talk that makes the argument that some of the best design ideas come from facing the constraints provided by material circumstance. Using a whole mess of examples stolen from Afrigadget, the talk argues that we hack technologies once they become familiar – from charcoal to bicycles to mobile phones. I ended with a couple of examples of innovative uses of social network technology,...

The Other Inconvenient Truth: The Crisis In Global Land Use

Yale Environment 360

Article by Jonathan Foley As the international community focuses on climate change as the great challenge of our era, it is ignoring another looming problem – the global crisis in land use.  With agricultural practices already causing massive ecological impact, the world must now find new ways to feed its burgeoning population and launch a "Greener" Revolution. It’s taken a long time, but the issue of global climate change is finally getting the attention it deserves. While enormous...

Using data provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the search giant created new layers for Google Earth showing the range of expected temperature and precipitation changes under different global emissions scenarios that could occur throughout the century. The Sydney Morning Herald further reports these “new tools were...

Friday Question: Failed Green Living Products?

Alex Steffen

We'd love to hear your ideas on this question: what green living products from the last decade now look faded, perhaps even bad ideas or failures? Why? (And for extra credit: what can we learn from their failures?)
