Koreans' meat-heavy diet carries bigger carbon cost than 10 return flights to Jeju
기사 요약: 한국인 한 명이 1년 동안 먹는 육류에서 나오는 온실가스가 김포-제주 구간 편도 항공편을 약 21회 이용하는 것과 비슷한 수준이라는 분석 결과가 나왔다.
[1] A South Korean’s annual meat consumption produces greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to about 10 flights across the country and back, a report showed Wednesday, highlighting the heavy climate footprint of Korea’s meat-heavy diet.
equivalent to: ~와 같은, ~와 맞먹는 수준의
footprint: 발자국, 흔적
[2] Meat consumed in South Korea generated an estimated 56.94 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions in 2024, according to Solution for Our Climate. The estimate was based on 3.08 million tons of beef, pork and chicken consumed in the country.
generate: 배출하다, 발생시키다
carbon dioxide: 이산화탄소
[3] On a per capita basis, meat consumption generated 1,115 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per year. That is roughly equal to 21 one-way flights, or 10.5 round-trip flights, between Seoul and Jeju Island.
per capita: 1인당
[4] Beef is by far the most emissions-intensive of the three major meats. The report said beef generates about four times more emissions than pork and more than 10 times more than chicken per kilogram, largely because cattle take longer to raise and produce methane during digestion.
