GHG #emissions of bio-based products are 45% below fossil products, but with large variation & no net zero. And #eutrophication is much higher = #environment trade-offs matter; #sustainability should be evaluated per product: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-43797-9 #LCA #climate #bioeconomy

If you're seeing dire news about the water & alfalfa lately in the US, I have good news for you.

The US's water problems have solutions!

One of the most powerful solutions: give serious attention & investment to agriculture in the southeastern US.

Let's talk about just one way to do that.

This is heartbreaking. A colleague sent me a #Reddit posting about the algal bloom on Lough Neagh, the largest lake in #Ireland. Most of the nutrient pollution is from agriculture, but wastewater plays a role as well. This is not the way to treat a lake.

‘By going vegan for just a month, according to the [#Veganuary] campaign, the cumulative million-plus participants have saved an estimated 1.6 million gallons of water (equal to flushing a toilet about a half million times) and 103,840 tons of carbon emissions (equal to driving around the world about 15,000 times) — not to mention 3.4 million animals.’ #ClimateChange #GoVegan #Deforestation #Eutrophication
