RED SEAWEED SOLUTION

Methane is the second-largest contributor to climate warming after carbon dioxide, and one of the top sources is methane emissions from livestock caused by burps and flatulence. A 2016 study found that feeding sheep a species of red seaweed called Asparagopsis taxiformis (AT) eliminated methane emissions by 80%. Further studies are ongoing, but this looks promising.
