The discovery of seaweed in the reduction of
methane in cows is no small feat and it is a
great step forward in the mission to stop
climate change. Discoveries like this are not
only super important to the climate but miles
closer to figuring out ways to live and eat
sustainably. Asparagopsis might aid in the
fight against rising methane emissions from
livestock but that does not mean that it is
over. We all must still take the necessary
steps to continue living sustainably, eliminate
our carbon footprint, and make the world a
better place.
* Climate Change is a big problem, and it
won’t be solved from this alone, but it can
help a small part in it.
