Beer and Potato Chips Are Teaming Up to Save the Planet

In England, a pint of beer and a bag of chips is a pretty standard pub order.But British snack company Walkers has developed a way for this combo to do more than appease drinkers' palates.They're hoping beer and potato chips can help save the planet, too.Walkers is hoping to cut its potato-based carbon dioxide emissions as much as 70%.The plan is to use a new technique that combines CO2 gas from beer fermentation with potato waste to create fertilizer.The company wants to have the system up and running at the brand's factory in Leicester before the 2022 potato crop.Now if they can only figure out how to cut the emissions on pork pies, British pubs will be truly environmentally friendly
