Cows’ Gas Captured by Seaweed

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the impact of
methane on global warming is more than 28 times higher than that of carbon
dioxide.

Methane emissions from livestock account for approximately 16% of
global greenhouse gases.

Seaweed can be helpful in the long battle against the
negative effects of animal farming and climate change.

Research has shown that
feeding pink seaweed to cows can reduce their methane gas emissions by up to
98%, which can help reduce the amount of methane gas released through passing gas.
