This video is about solutions to climate change – specifically the use of Asparagopsis. This type of red seaweed has shown to reduce methane production in farm animals like cattle. With cattle and dairy farming contributing about 11% of Australia’s national emissions, the use of this seaweed may hold a promising solution to Australia’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The video also asks audiences to change their lifestyle and diet as this too is beneficial for the climate and human health.
