Climate Facts: Sharing science and hope
"The growing of livestock and other animals for food is also
an extremely inefficient process. For example, it takes approximately five to
seven kilograms of grain to produce one kilogram of beef. Each of those
kilograms of grain takes considerable energy and water to produce, process, and
transport. As meat consumption has grown around the world, so has its climate
impact." CLICK HERE to learn more from David Suzuki Foundation!

Ridley Bronze: Raising endangered turkeys is more fun than
work
Raising Ridley Bronze turkeys may seem like a lot of work,
but to Marie-Josee, it is completely worth it. “They have such friendly personalities and
love to follow you around,” she said. “I think they actually know their names!”
She and her boyfriend Matt raise Ridley Bronze turkeys at their home in L'Isle-aux-Allumettes,
Quebec. They have other breeds of birds on site; Coturnix quails, Barrad Rocks
chickens, Rhode Island chickens and even Pekin ducks. Not to mention their
adorable cats; Minnie Mouse the grey tabby and a pure white Persian named Mr. Grinch.
They care for and love all of their pets equally, but they raise their Ridley
Bronze with a purpose.
