  I've argued a long time for a "Greening the Chamber" movement that would use green business involvement in the Chamber to change its neandertal policies. The other option is for responsible businesses to quit the Chamber. The problem is that these two options are mostly contradictory. Either good businesses should stay in and fight the good fight within the Chamber with no more than a few high-profile resignations, or they should all get out. I tend to think that the former is a more realistic option.On Corporations call off the old green battle, but Chamber of Commerce soldiers on [UPDATED] posted 1 month, 2 weeks ago 4 Responses

  Very interesting - it sounds like it's better than carbon neutral - it is carbon negative until soil carbon reaches saturation levels. Is that right?  The only other realistic examples of carbon negative processes that I know of are some experimental ideas for cement making, and biomass power coupled with carbon sequestration.  (There are some open-air carbon capture ideas that seem like pipe dreams to me.)

  It would be interesting to hear more about the drawbacks.  I was a little unclear  on that after reading the text, but it sounds like it may be expensive.

  Thanks for the link, but it's not directly on point, I think.  The press release never defines "efficiency" but I'm guessing it refers to economic efficiency - what's the least amount of money needed to get enough land to supply an adequate diet.  It's still not a comparison of gas emissions.  CLWeber's last post above does do a comparison of beef to poultry, and it's not good (yes, some factors are left out, but there's a huge gap to overcome).  I'd guess poultry is probably three times worse for gas emissions than eating vegetarian.
