Guest: Martin Heller, PhD, Research Specialist at the Center for Sustainable Systems, University of Michigan Eating a lot of red meat is not good for your health, but did you know that it’s also not good for the environment? In fact, if you’re a big beef eater and you worry about greenhouse gas emissions, reducing your meat consumption will do more for the environment than driving your car less. Martin Heller’s recent work looks at just how much the typical American diet contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
