Cows+burp

**Canadian scientists breed cows to make cows burp less**
Cows are responsible for almost 75% of total methane emissions, mostly coming from burps. Stephen Moore, professor of agricultural, food and nutritional science at the University of Alberta, hopes the refined bovines will produce 25 per cent less methane. Nancy Hirshberg, spokesman for Stonyfield Farm says, "If every US dairy farmer reduced emissions by 12 per cent it would be equal to about half a million cars being taken off the road." Because of reducing the emissions of cow burps, we could be more environmentally friendly. By reducing the methane emissions coming from the cows by around 12%, it will be the equivalent of taking half a million cars off the road. That means that if the scientists reach their goal of breeding cows with 25% less emission that would mean that you're taking around a million cars from the road.
