There are many blog articles I could write about these statistics. Today’s blog solution will focus on a Swedish start-up company building the world’s largest seaweed factory. The seaweed is mixed into their existing feedstock reducing the methane released from cows’ flatulence. Yes, their farts! About 3 years ago now, I learned about this for the first time. Scientists continue to study and scale up this solution, helping to reverse climate change.
If you would like to learn more about it, have… Continue reading
