Factory Farm Presentation

Nick Cooney's presentation on factory farming was filled with a lot of startling, yet fascinating information. What I found most interesting was the impact that factory farming has on the environment. In the United States, animal agriculture runoff is the #1 cause of water pollution, as well as the #2 cause of air pollution. It is responsible for 20% of greenhouse emissions. I had no clue that these processes contributed so much to global warming. Mr. Cooney pointed out that this does not get much attention in the media, which is why many people (including myself) are left unaware of this information.
