YFW you don’t even check the numbers you are chastising me for not checking and are wildly incorrect 🤡:

www.statista.com/topics/…/global-plastic-waste/#t…

400 million metric tons of plastic per year produced

statista.com/…/cattle-methane-emissions-worldwide…

75 million metric tons of methan from cow farts per year
