If people were serious about stopping global warming they'd start buying local foods in season instead of these resorting to ridiculously convoluted schemes to get around nature. I like your enthusiasm but you've got your facts muggled up. The biggest portion of our GHG output is from basic electricity production and heating. Going after where food is produced helps but only a little. It's like a guy who's spending hundreds of dollars a week to much but who thinks he'll balance his budget but no longer buying $0.25 worth of bubble gum a day. You need to go after the big expenses if you want to see big changes.
