And this one seems doable, in a way that trying to reduce the food-miles of a large food company that serves multiple colleges doesn't. I would recommend continuing to talk about it with EMU staff and students, and I'll do the same... I don’t think this specific way of thinking about the way that we eat has been brought up, actually.

It should be little to no surprise that most of the total agriculture-related greenhouse gases come from methane produced by cows, and other ruminants. Add to this the transporting of grain and animals, clearing land for pasture, and the release of nitrogen from fertilizers which account for some of the remainder of the emissions. My guess is that this and similar question have surfaced already by the student body, yet it is something which I have been recently thinking about and making changes in my personal life.
