COW PIE IN THE SKY

OK, so they're not as fresh as a daisy.


Scientists say cow burps (not flatulence) are responsible for one greenhouse gas widely believed to be part of the cause of global warming.

The average dairy cow belches out about 100 to 200 liters of methane each day. Experts didn't specify how much methane the poofers produce.


So now they want to change the cows' diet so they will belch less. I wonder which celebrity cow they will get to prove their theories.

As a side note, I was going to embed this informative YouTube electric cow video, but instead, I thought the manure bath below was laugh-out-loud funny.

I've sank, sunk (and sunken) to a new low.

NOT LIME, NOT OLIVE, NOT AVOCADO

Being "green" these days has nothing to do with the color.

Instead, it means contractors and municipalities are using environmentally friendly materials when they build or renovate homes and other structures.

It means they landscape with plants that require less water or build with plywood from trees grown in renewable forests. It means they only install energy efficient heating and air-conditioning systems.

It also means they use paints and glues that don't contribute to greenhouse gases.


Of course, if you don't know any better, sometimes you accidentally sit down on the job.

But for our children's and grandchildren's future, let's hope this "green" (not chartreuse) thing will catch on.

Listen before it's too late.
