Nick Cooney's presentation

Nick Cooney’s presentation on Factory Farming was very interesting. One aspect of the presentation I found the most interesting was the impact on the environment. I knew that factory farming was the cause of a big portion of the global warming issue, but I didn’t know that it was the biggest factor. Factory farm animals produce 170 times more waste than humans do. Some of it is used for fertilizer but most of it leaks into water or is absorbed into the atmosphere. Knowing that the massive amount of waste the factory farm animals produce is ruining our planet, makes me want to change the way I eat. I don’t think I can completely stop eating meat and meat products but I can definitely cut down on my meat intake.
