  1. When things are grown they take up CO2, so when they are decomposed they give it off. so to stop all this you only have to stop all life processes


  2. Lots of baking soda.

  3. The US government has started to hand out subsidies to farmers to install methane digesters--which extract methane from animal manure to create energy--as a way to deal with problems associated with factory farm waste.

    Not sure if it makes it neutral The solids are left after gasification and can still be used as fertilizer. Vermont and Pennsylvania farmers have been participating in methane digester projects for a couple of years.

  4. I always use a match, but watch out, you might get your eye brows singed

  5. What you need is a can of aerosol Flobbits. These are a special kind of organism that thrive in a methane rich environment. These Flobbits wallow around in the methane and absorb it leaving behind a pungent aroma. With many flobbits we could in theory get rid of all the methane on the earth. They can currently be found at your neighbourhood supermarket.

  6. peppermint hay

  7. Eat them.

  8. Think T-Bone Steak !!!!!

  9. You cant become a vegetarian and stop supporting the cattle industry.

  10. green house gasses won't bother you that much so just eat them!

  11. I thought I heard something about bioengineering them to produce a little less methane in their ruminants a few months ago.  Ruminants like cows (goats, sheep, deer, etc)  use anaerobic bacteria to help break down woody tissue that non-ruminants can't digest.   I believe they belch it out and maybe exhale some too, besides the obvious route of escape!
