In the face of research that meat and milk are high in greenhouse gas emissions , companies are angling for new ways to reach eco-conscious consumers. Products that bear the label “carbon neutral” are supposed to be produced with no added emissions to the atmosphere. Photo credit: Sentient Media. What does carbon neutral mean?

Milk, in turn, has high greenhouse gas emissions because of the methane produced by cows’ digestive systems. We can damage the stability of the atmosphere on both sides of the equation – by emitting too many greenhouse gases, or by reducing the earth’s CO2-absorbing capacity (for example, by chopping down rainforests).

Deforestation is one.

In particular, he said, “reliance upon coal, on the other hand, could aggravate the ‘greenhouse effect,’ whereby excess carbon dioxide (which accompanies coal burning) traps heat inside the earth’s atmosphere, thus possibly melting the icecaps and raising the level of the oceans.”

Methane is a greenhouse gas that has more heat-trapping power than CO2, although it also clears out of the atmosphere much faster than does CO2.

A quick reminder of what net zero is: it’s the balance point at which a country, business or organisation absorbs as much greenhouse gases as it produces. On side B we all have all the carbon removed from the atmosphere by forests, soil and wetlands. At that point, the net effect on the climate is zero. You are carbon neutral.
