Climate change is happening, and it's happening now, according to dairy farmer David Vonhoff. He has been working on farms since he was a child and sees the changes happening right in front of him.
During hot summers, his cattle can be found resting in the shade under the trees. If those trees had not been there, the cows would be under a lot of stress, which influences milk production.
"So the legumes use nitrogen and also provide protein-rich food for the animals to grow fast and develop well," she says. Methane takes only about a decade to break down, as opposed to carbon dioxide which can take many centuries. That means that reducing methane emissions has a relatively direct effect on the climate.
Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a black, odourless powder that has been used for centuries to treat different aches, like poisoning.coconuts or nutshells. The study aiming at lowering methane emissions was conducted over a 12-month period and showed a 30 to 40 per cent reduction in methane emissions from the cows.Vonhoff tries to be optimistic.
