This month marks 60 years since the publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. The book provides strong scientific evidence of the enormous harms pesticides such as DDT pose to public health and the environment. It continues to be a source of inspiration for writers, scientists, and the public today. It galvanized the environmental movement and it pushed the federal government and Congress to carry out scientific research on pesticide contamination and to act on that research.

Methane is a climate super-pollutant that is 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Given its potency and short life, experts believe that reducing methane emissions is the highest-yield action that governments and businesses can take to curb near-term warming. In the US, livestock are responsible for over one third of anthropogenic methane emissions; in California , this number is over 50 percent, largely due to the state’s dairy sector, whose 1.7 million cattle produ
