Domesticated animals emit methane. The second-most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, methane, is produced by cattle, dairy cows, buffalo, goats, sheep, camels, pigs, and horses. Most livestock-related methane emissions are produced by "enteric fermentation" of food by bacteria and other microbes in the animals’ digestive tracts; another source is the decomposition of animal manure. Livestock account for 30% of the methane emissions from human activities. 1, record 4, English, - livestock%2Drelated%20methane%20emissions

Les animaux domestiques émettent du méthane. Après le dioxyde de carbone, le deuxième gaz à effet de serre en importance est le méthane qui est rejeté par le bétail, vaches laitières, buffles, chèvres, moutons, chameaux, cochons et chevaux. La plus grande partie des émissions de méthane attribuables au bétail sont produites par «fermentation entérique» des aliments du fait de bactéries et autres microbes présents dans l'appareil digestif des animaux; et aussi par la décomposition des déjections animales. Le bétail représente 30% des émissions anthropiques de méthane. 1, record 4, French, - %C3%A9missions%20de%20m%C3%A9thane%20attribuables%20au%20b%C3%A9tail

A non profit organization created in 1994, has as its mission implementing the National Earth Comfort Program. The National Earth Comfort Program is a collaborative effort between the US Department of Energy, the US Environmental Protection Agency, and private sector organizations interested in promoting the growth of energy-efficient, environmentally friendly heating and cooling technology. The GHPC' s specific area of interest is in increasing the use of GeoExchange technology for both commercial and residential heating and cooling. GeoExchange systems use the earth's renewable energy to provide heating in winter, and cooling in summer, with energy consomption 25% to 50% less than traditional oil, natural gas, and electric heat pump systems. Moreover because GeoExchange systems burn no fossil fuels in creating heat, they reduce greenhouse gas emissions substantially, and eliminate a source of carbon monoxide inside the homes and commercial buildings where they’re used. 1, record 5, English, - Geothermal%20Heat%20Pump%20Consortium
