Environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) have been in the news lately; with one plan suggesting New Zealand reduce pastoral livestock by up to 35 per cent to remedy the problem.

Dr Mike Joy has suggested we should get rid of all dairy cows on the Canterbury Plains. Don Carson has other ideas.
