Interesting Climate Tidbits from the D7910 Environmental Action Committee!

According to a recent report by CBS News, insects are being explored as a high-protein, low-carbon alternative to conventional feedstocks. The use of insects in animal feed has gained attention as a means to address sustainability concerns. It has been estimated that around 1.2 trillion edible insects are raised on farms annually, providing ranchers with an opportunity to reduce their reliance on carbon-intensive crops such as soybeans
