- Summary
- COI synopsis: Nearly everywhere today a major concern is cutting back on waste to help preserve resources. But first, spot your waste! This issue spots a few obvious, and a few very strange areas where intriguing new ways are being developed for preventing waste. One cow belches out enough gas while ruminating to blow a child’s balloon almost to bursting point in six minutes - and eight percent of cattle-feed goes up in useless gas. Now a new formula can be added to the cattle-feed which stops the cattle belching and can turn wasted gas into an extra half gallon of milk a day.
