Cows vs. Razors

December 29, 2010

Slate.com posted an article comparing the environmental costs of shaving with an electric vs. a disposable razor. The electric comes out on top by a narrow margin. But then, the author adds:

It would take more than 350 years of shaving with a disposable instead of an electric to account for the annual greenhouse gas emissions of a single cow.

Nice to see the discussion turned back to a key point that’s all too often overlooked. Link.
