The people over at RAYGUN wanted to put pig waste into perspective for everyone. Iowa is the nation’s leading state for pig populations, with an estimated 23 million pigs, compared to just 3 million people who live in Iowa. Using an average estimate for the amount of waste one pig produces a day, which is about seven pounds, they realized that 140 million pounds of pig waste is dumped on Iowa every single day. That means 25 MILLION TONS of pig waste is produced in the state in just one year.With numbers this large, it can be hard to understand the magnitude of this, but this graphic helps: Considering pig waste is typically liquefied in cesspools, RAYGUN wanted to quantify how many liquid gallons all this pig waste equates to – 6.3 billion gallons a year. That is the same as 9,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools, of pig waste, in Iowa alone!People who live nearby factory farms and these giant pools of waste are often subject to enormous amounts of air and water pollution. Unfortunately, factory farms are typically built in low-income areas, making it unfeasible for residents to move. The fact that pig waste is responsible for creating multi-drug resistant bacteria and cognitive and respiratory illnesses in people, is enough for any bacon-lover to rethink their choices.The good news is we can all help reduce the impact of factory farms with our own food choices. By choosing to reduce or eliminate your consumption of animal products, you can help lower demand and help bring about a more sustainable food system.To learn more about how you can...

At least $32,891 was deposited into the accounts, of which Jennings was the only signer, the audit shows.Authorities became involved after the Mayor Rick Barton II discovered financial documents in the city dumpster in 2015 that he believed showed financial improprieties.Barton said Thursday there had been concerns before his dumpster search but declined to discuss the matter, sayin...
