Another great piece, Melanie. It is a constant battle here in the US to convince consumers to compost kitchen waste rather than send it directly to a landfill. Its particularly frustrating given the many options we have available for composting.
On the subject - theres a pretty sobering analysis of the impact of pasture-fed beef and lamb by George Monbiot in the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/16/most-damaging-farm-products-organic-pasture-fed-beef-lamb which makes the case that its not just methane emissons from farm operations thats an issue but also the loss of carbon capture by wild trees/plants that are no longer on the land because of the farm.
Another extremely clear explanation - I can always count on learning something with your newsletter issues. The seaweed supplement for cattle is very promising and gives me hope.

Best explanation of methane and CO2 I've read, thanks Mel!
