Climate change is real, and our greenhouse gas pollution levels are to blame. While most people typically think of pollution stemming from machinery and cars, there are many other factors that add to the problem. Methane production is one of the most potent and harmful greenhouse gases that our planet is currently fighting. Surprisingly, almost everyone is guilty of buying into one of the worst sources of this methane problem, and chances are, it might even be in your refrigerator right now; Beef.

Meat production is a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, meat production alone accounts for 14.5% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. And while meat production is pollutant-heavy, there's one aspect that wreaks the most havoc on the environment: Methane.

Contrary to what you may think, methane does more harm than CO2. Methane is a natural substance that falls under the category of greenhouse gases and is 30 times more potent than CO2.
