I eat three steaks a day - how does beef affect climate change?

We explain why beef has such a big carbon footprint.

In this episode we chat with someone who just LOVES steak, and eats it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But Eric鈥檚 not the only one who loves beef: its consumption is going up around the world. But many people are also concerned about its huge carbon footprint - and how it impacts climate change.

蜜芽传媒 climate reporters Georgina Rannard and Marco Silva explain why cows are so bad for the environment, what misinformation exists online, and what alternatives are out there (if you鈥檙e looking to cut down).
