    Shit, is ploughing a girl less environmentally friendly?

    I guess there’s a serious risk of a baby which is like the least environmentally friendly thing possible

      Wrong hole, no risk really.

      Depends. There’s a a chance of equivalence in methane expulsion, but it depends on the diet…

      And the through that is plowed

      Go on wplace and guess from the drawings where they live. Apparently it’s full of femboys and furries where I live, but I haven’t found any yet

        Somewhere in Texas there’s a big Alstolfo mural and someone wrote “if you look like this, DM me” next to it

        At least there was, this was a few months ago

    The main problem is that, not ploughing increases the need for pesticides, currently around 8% of energy used and reduces yield. While not ploughing increasing requiring 3x the pesticides might not be the case, a 20% reduction in yield seems plausible.

    The main energy consumption in farming is fertilizer at around 50%, but more importantly half the emissions are related to animal agriculture. Cutting back on that would actually make a difference.

      and moving away from monoculture mass farming would remove the need for fertilizer. There are many solutions that capitalism doesn’t want.

    15-20% of CO2 emissions? From what? What are you trying to say? Use your words.

    source
    • anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I had the same question a few hours ago, but I found some science.
      Tldr: 30% of energy use is in diesel, and about half of that is for tilling fields.

      Rant:
      Note that this is energy use, so only CO2 emissions are counted, while methan is ignored. If we stopped farming animals, the effective emissions of the sector would be cut in half. Even if we are unwilling to change out diet, maybe we should look at reducing the amount of fertilizer instead.
