Nick Cooney

Nick Cooney's presentation was very informative and eye-opening. He spoke a lot about the environmental repercussions from all of the global factory farming which was information that was very new to me. There were a lot of statistics that were shocking. The number one reason for water pollution in the US is animal waste run-off. The animal industry is responsible for 51% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Another interesting point that Cooney made was that to produce one hamburger it took the equivalent of six months worth of showers.
