Laughing Gas is No Laughing Matter
Laughing gas, N2O, or nitrous oxide, is a gobsmacking 300 times more heat-trapping than CO2! Between 1990 and 2021, emissions of N20 grew by 40%! So why haven’t we heard about this more? These emissions are primarily a result of Agriculture, 60% of which is dedicated to the growth of animal feed crops. So cutting meat and meat by-products from our diets is the best Christmas gift we can give the Earth and next generations of people.
I’m no expert, so for more information, I recommend the following articles and book:
