What do telecommuters and bovines have in common? They both pass gas.
People who work from home use less gasoline, and that’s a good thing. Cow farts and burps, on the other hand, are no laughing matter. In fact, livestock ‘emissions’ contribute to global warming more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together!
Unlike humans and most other animals, bovine digestive systems produce large quantities of methane gas. Methane is believed to be twenty times worse for the environment than the carbon dioxide that comes of the back end of our cars.
New Zealand proposed last year to tax farmers in attempt to mitigate methane. But the farmers rallied and created a lobby, Farmers Against Ridiculous Taxes (F.A.R.T.) . The group made a big stink and successfully plugged the issue.
On our home soil, a couple of California entrepreneurs are determined to get to the bottom of the problem. They’ve invented a bovine methane recapture apparatus that, while it may make Bessie the laughing stock of the barnyard, it could put an end to our global warming woes–it’s sort of a cowalytic converter to stop tailpipe emissions
Honestly, we don’t make this crap up.

[...] What can YOU do working from home Can you imagine what the world would be like with 53 million fewer cars on the road every day? This isn’t just pie in the sky, it could happen if more people worked from home. Our research shows that 5 million Americans (not including home-based businesss owners) already work in their jammies. If the rest of the 40% of workers who studies show could work from home actually did, traffic jams would come to a screeching halt. Collectively they’d prevent 100 million metric tons of greenhouse gases from polluting our atmosphere and save 12 billion gallons of gas each year—that’s the equivalent of 80% of our Persian Gulf imports. Last week the Senate overturned EPA’s attempts to block California and other states from limiting greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles (gotta ask yourself why the EPA, of all organizations, wanted to prevent it in the first place). As a result, things will be heating up for State policy-makers to do something about the number of cars on the road. Telecommuting is the answer. Curiously, in California—one of the worst traffic states in the nation—policy makers seem to have their heads in the wrong place. The state has committed $10 million in funding to encourage farmers to contain and reuse, um, bovine emissions. While the methane produced by cow pies may have 21 times the global warming impact of CO2, they don’t hold a candle to what we humans do to pollute the atmosphere. I don’t mean to make a big stink here, but if we’re going to invest taxpayer money in trying to sequester the stuff that emanates from both ends of a holstein, why not invest in encouraging companies to retool their 2-legged, 4-wheeled global warming offenders?
