Each year, an average family of 4 people eats 130-200 pounds of beef and cow milk. If humans eat less there will be a less of a demand for these types of products. If humans switched to a more plant based diet there will be less of a need for commercial livestock farming.]]> 2021-03-30 21:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/maliahee/yg90mmlyo5bjkzlj/wish/1369793130 Solution #2 gunnergillett https://padlet.com/maliahee/yg90mmlyo5bjkzlj/wish/1369801915 A solution farmers themselves can use to reduce to the negative effects of commercial livestock farming is to feed their livestock better quality food that will prevent them from producing as much methane methane.]]> 2021-03-30 21:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/maliahee/yg90mmlyo5bjkzlj/wish/1369801915 Solution #3 nicholasgimino https://padlet.com/maliahee/yg90mmlyo5bjkzlj/wish/1376836651 Scientists are trying to develop a vaccine to prevent the amount of methane cows produce. The vaccine works by giving cows antibodies to control the microbes in the cows stomach. The microbes effect how much methane is produced, but after given the vaccine, the cows possibly won't be able to digest anything, and eventually die.]]> 2021-04-01 21:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/maliahee/yg90mmlyo5bjkzlj/wish/1376836651 nicholasgimino https://padlet.com/maliahee/yg90mmlyo5bjkzlj/wish/1377094839 2021-04-02 00:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/maliahee/yg90mmlyo5bjkzlj/wish/1377094839 nicholasgimino https://padlet.com/maliahee/yg90mmlyo5bjkzlj/wish/1377122260 2021-04-02 01:01:13 UTC https://padlet.com/maliahee/yg90mmlyo5bjkzlj/wish/1377122260 Picture Sources: nicholasgimino https://padlet.com/maliahee/yg90mmlyo5bjkzlj/wish/1378787474
