Revealing the ‘Carbon Hoofprint’ of Meat Consumption for American Cities

Consuming meat contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, and depending on where you live in the United States, some cities have a larger “carbon hoofprint” than others. U-M researchers have mapped the emissions linked to producing beef, pork, and chicken across the contiguous U.S., giving residents and local governments city-specific data to guide positive change. Explore your city’s carbon hoofprint in this interactive Michigan News research spotlight.
