How are cows bad for the environment? Deforestation, Cows wastes and greenhouse effects. This essay will explain more about deforestation, cow waste and greenhouse effects.

Deforestation is when you cut down trees or forests. Deforestation can cause climate change because trees consume carbon dioxide. Deforestation will affect cows because cows eat grass so this is part of why people are cutting down trees.

Are cows bad for the environment? Well yes when you eat them no. When cows pass gases they release methane. And methane gets trapped inside earth and makes a blanket for earth. And if methane keeps getting trapped the earth will keep getting hotter. Methane only stays for a decade in earth atmosphere.

The methane then causes climate change. Now if there are no trees because the cows need grass then trees won’t absorb carbon dioxide so earth will keep getting hotter. And if there are trees and no grass then  cows die out of hunger. So it is a lose lose. Cows are bad for the environment.

To prevent this you can eat less dairy food and eat less cows.  You could add lemongrass to your cows grass, to reduce cows gases. It would be great if you did those things.
