#3 Only ways you could reduce the 'emissions' from the current ruminant population of CA would be to starve them or put them down.

#5 The measure also aims to "significantly increase" composting in order to reduce the dumping of food waste in local landfills, which officials say releases methane gases upon breakdown.

If we had a Stupid-Ass Statement of the Day, that's your winner. It is true that when plant material breaks down in a landfill it releases methane and CO2. But the exact same thing happens in a compost bin, even with an official Green Hippie(tm) brand bin.

If you were awake in 5th grade science class, you'd know this. Hint: It's call The Carbon Cycle.
