So there are about a billion cows on earth, and they produce methane as part of their digestive process. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. BUT, it turns out if you add pink seaweed to their diet it eliminates methane production in cattle. Amazing.

This is a game changer. A new report from the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) estimates the cost of subsidizing a full transition to clean energy, and comes out with a figure that is only 10-30% of the subsidy presently given to the planet-destroying fossil fuel industries.
That’s right. It would be cheaper to go green.
Just 10% of fossil fuel subsidy cash ‘could pay for green transition’
The report can be found here.
Why are we not doing this? Hmmm.
Neat.
Blade Runner, Ladyhawke, much more.

Although I’ve got a couple Aldi totes that have to have hundreds of prior uses.
You’d need to use an organic cotton tote bag 20,000 times to get the same environmental impact as a plastic disposable bag. Plastic bags are an environmental nightmare, but it looks like the other options may be worse. I think grocery retailers should have to take back plastic bags and recycle them.
Your cotton tote is pretty much the worst replacement for a plastic bag
Packaging and convenience bags are a growing problem. What is the solution?
Whoa.
Should be a good show…
Ultima Thule, is a trans-Neptunian object located in the Kuiper belt. A cold lump of rock at the edge of our Solar Solar System. It is a mystery.

Nice Job Space X!
This morning Space X launched a Dragon crew module to the International Space Station. Aboard was only a dummy in a spacesuit loaded with sensors. If all goes well, and so far it has, This will be how American astronauts get to the ISS soon.
