Reducing livestock emissions
We’re working with farmers, industry and other researchers, to explore how we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions in livestock industries while increasing productivity. Almost 70% of the Australian agriculture sector’s emissions come from livestock (including cattle, sheep, goats and pigs). This video shows how our researchers are studying cattle methane emissions to help farmers and land managers understand how they can reduce them. Using dietary and gut microbe improvements, high-tech measurement technology and different stock management methods, scientists hope to establish cheap and simple methods to reduce livestock methane emissions and improve productivity. This research is part of our effort to help Australia reduce the causes of climate change and adapt to future climate conditions. It was funded by CSIRO, the Australian Government Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry and Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA). Footage for this video was contributed by MLA and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). More information: www.csiro.au www.csiro.au
Is this a good essay ?
No one can deny the dangers that pollution causes to our life in many ways, scientists and authors has written many reports about pollution, pollution types, and how pollution effects on our world but no one puts it in consideration neither the community nor the government, so we have to look in this problem seriously and work hard to reach to a solution because if we neglected it, we will have to bear the consequences and dangers resulting from this pollution.
When we look in the causes of pollution we will find that the main reason is the industrial wastes. The second reason is the smoke that comes out from the vehicles we use for transportation. If we look in the past we will see that pollution didn’t exist this is because there were no factories and no transportation to cause pollution.
There are many types of pollution, each one of them has a different effect on our life such as, it causes cancer and reduces energy levels, contribute to raising the rate of global warming and can negatively affect the livestock, so we must be honest with ourselves to face this disaster.
As we see we should work hard to get a solution to prevent or to reduce pollution today such as avoid smoking or at least follow the "no smoking" sign. Use unleaded gasoline in your vehicles; avoid public parties and concerts that need a huge amount of noise to make it, to avoid the noise pollution. Government has to raise awareness in the society to discuss the reasons, effects and solutions of the pollution.
In conclusion we should be more aware and follow the rules and try to preserve our environment as in the past by increasing the size of area of agriculture.
Can anyone help write it better, or add details please ? ![]()
What advancements if any has religion contributed to society?
Lets tally up the score here..
The Scientific Method was either an effect or response to:
-The Renaissance
-Advancements in medicine
-Technology(like the kind we’re all using to communicate)
-Trigonometry, without which engineering would not be possible
-Forensics, as opposed to witch hunts and oaths
-Agriculture and livestock, what feeds us aren’t endless breadbaskets and magic wine fountains
-Commerce
-Transportation
Here’s what Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and any disassociation with reality I left out(?) contributed:
-The Dark Ages
-The Crusades
-Persecutions
-Superstitions
-The continued false acceptance of debunked beliefs(ie radiometric and carbon dating concludes the Earth was created over the span of about 4.5 Billion years, not 7 days)
-9/11
-Tim Tebow
Help me out, I’m sure I missed a few..
Voices of the People – present recreational area at Omaha Livestock Exchange Building
Guests at a promotional event at One World Health Clinic are enjoying the current playground and recreational space on the north grassy area at the Omaha,NE Livestock Exchange Building. (One World Health Clinic rents the first three floors of the building). The playground will disappear if One World Health builds a four-story structure on this site! Safety issues like crosswalks need to be addressed on the Omaha Livestock Exchange Building Campus streets that surround the Livestock Exchange Building….. thank goodness the driver of that oncoming car was paying attention and hit their brakes as the child ran across the street!

SAVE OUR PLANET – Lethal algal bloom linked to more deaths in Brittany
SAVE OUR PLANET… Lethal algal bloom linked to more deaths in Brittany. Thirty-three wild boars are the most recent victims thought to be poisoned by noxious gas emitted by algae on the normally beautiful tourist beaches in the Brittany. With mountains of algal slime that have washed up on the coastline in the past weeks, two boar babies were discovered lifeless on July 7, with the death toll since then continuing to rise. The region has already been visited by similar disaster, with a worker who died in 2009 while clearing the seaweed, and a horse that succumbed that same year within 30 seconds of entering a beach where the toxic seaweed was present, while his 27-year-old rider was rescued after losing consciousness to the fumes. Environmentalist Jean-Frangois Piquot noted that while this region of Brittany occupies just 5% of French agricultural land, it contains 60% of the nation’s livestock pigs, 45% of the poultry and 30% of the dairy farms. Meanwhile, the group Stop the Green Tides has called on the nation’s army to remove the toxic sludge, while French newspaper Le Monde published a front-page editorial saying that the government should acknowledge agricultural and livestock pollution as the problem’s real cause. Meanwhile, municipal officials have cordoned off beaches and issued warnings for people’s safety. Our appreciation for the French officials’ protective measures and for the concerned voices of Stop the Green Tides and media such as Le Monde. May everyone …
