You may remember the cow fart data of some years back.
Certainly that was disgraceful.
It seems to be the case that we have forgotten our own contribution to
the greenhouse effect.
Let's be straight about this as there is little less than the
survival of the planet at risk.
Fess up:
How many times do you fart each day?
Now, I do not mean those days on which you choose to brave the other
possibilities of munching at your local Mexican fast food
establishment.
What about those days that you simply eat eggs for breakfast ( in
whatever form).
What about those evenings that you indulge in cabbage, improperly
cooked, due to a certain ethnic leaning.
Aye, what about your particular predilection for consuming hard boiled
eggs and beer at the same sitting!
It's a bloody mess, you see!
Now, ye wee bairns, I'll fess up to farting as much as fifty times in
a day and I believe myself to be a less than average farter.
Let's just think about those brothers that come from a vegetable
based culture.
How many times a day do you think those birds are farting?
Ach, it's criminal!
Let's put this on a mathematical basis:
If every fart that is let go creates one square foot of farting energy
And if there are 6.6 billion people on earth today ( we are not going
to talk about the ancient farts at this point)
And if every one of those people farts twenty times per day (less than
half of the acknowledged standard)
There will be 121.2 billion cubic feet of farts introduced into the
atmosphere on any given day - disregarding Double Fajitas Fridays.
If the diameter of the earth is aboot 7926 miles
And the atmosphere is aboot 300 miles thick
Well, you can easily see that 121.2 billion cubic feet of farts has a
tremendous effect.
This is not politics this is math.
So, what is my point?
I would caution all of you to refrain from possibly ecoterrorist
dietary habits.
It should not be hard, unless you are Polish.
What you eat today is what we breathe tomorrow.
Think about it!

Instead of refraining, we should encourage it. Collect the miasmic
effluence and use the gas for constructive purposes - heating,
powering generators, running cars, punishing family members and co-
workers (yes, those can be positive experiences - at least for me).
"Damn! We're almost out of gas!"
"Don't worry, honey, I have a burrito in the glove compartment."
We should all strive to do our fart...errr...part to produce our one
universal renewable resource. Forget this build green stuff. Fart
green and save the planet.

A wise man considers the consequences of every action.
Before I give it a try, I'd like to know what you've discovered to be
the consequence(s) of not farting...

Q. Why do men fart more than women?
A. Because women won't shut up long enough to build up the pressure.

Reminds me of the news report I read concerning the enormous amount of farts
put out by cows in China. And China decided to do some research on this.
But they discovered that they did not have any technical people or
scientists who were experts in this area.
So they set up a university program to cross train various individuals to do
this work. And hopefully come up with a solution.
I thought this a bit strange.
Who would want to become a cow fart engineer/scientist?
And how do you make cows stop farting? Particularly since they have evolved
into the perfect grass eating machines. I had visions of the farmers giving
the cows daily gas tablets. Not terribly practical or economical.

From the childrens' book "Everyone Farts" (probably in the same series
as "Everyone Poops"), the average is 14 times per day.
It's a populat topic for authors - amazon has dozens of books on the
subject:

I have encountered folks thgat do not fart, they hiss. I think there
is democratic presidential candidate that hisses. So say the former
employees of the sneator from New York carpetbagger.
