Animal agriculture consumes three-quarters of all farmland, destroying habitat and eliminating over 70% of the planet’s wildlife. This heavily subsidized industry kills 80 billion animals

Animal agriculture consumes three-quarters of all farmland, destroying habitat and eliminating over 70% of the planet’s wildlife. This heavily subsidized industry kills 80 billion animals annually for just 12% of the human diet, while also degrading topsoil.

Though regenerative farming is proposed, it often requires farm animals. This prompts the question: shouldn't we instead allow wildlife to return? Sailesh Rao (Climate Healers) and Larry Kopald (The Carbon Underground) discuss this with host Dale Walkonen.

Boudreaux, President & CEO, discusses Oberon Fuels' mission to decarbonize the fuel and energy sectors. The company aims to slash the environmental impact of fuels, particularly in hard-to-abate areas like heavy-duty transportation and agriculture.

Oberon achieves this through renewable dimethyl ether (rDME). Their low or carbon-negative rDME fuel can reduce LPG's carbon intensity by up to 60% when blended, potentially cutting global CO2 by 750 million metric tons annually. rDME also offers a compelling approach for transporting hydrogen for its fast-growing applications.

Suma Peesapati, lawyer and board president of Communities for a Better Environment, argues that despite California’s far reaching policies on climate issues being lauded as progressive, they do not always improve the lives of people in low income communities of color, which are most heavily impacted by pollution. In particular she takes aim at the state’s flawed cap-and-trade program.

This clip summarizes Ms. Peesapati’s comments made as part of a roundtable hosted by the Carnegie Council’s journal, "Ethics & International Affairs", at the International Studies Association’s Annual Convention, which took place in April 2018.
