More Western-style problem 'solving':

An innovative face mask for cows, designed to reduce methane emissions and slow down climate change, has won a prestigious design award.

The wearable device for cattle, created by UK-based design group Zelp, was one of the four winners of the inaugural Terra Cart Design Lab competition.

Prince Charles, who launched the competition as part of his Sustainable Markets Initiative, hailed the ground-breaking design as "fascinating" at an awards ceremony in London on Wednesday, The Telegraph reported.

The design, a smart harness for cows, converts methane into carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Cows expel significant quantities of methane, an odorless greenhouse gas, which is more than 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere.

Achieving significant reductions in methane emissions would have a rapid effect on slowing down climate change, per the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

A single dairy cow can produce up to 130 gallons of methane per day. And their burps account for 95% of a cow's methane emissions. There are approximately one billion cattle worldwide.

Non-Western solution: breed fewer cows.

Western 'solution':

In the past, solutions to the cattle industry's methane problem have involved changing cows' diets.

Wouldn't it be simpler for humans to change their diets to exclude cows?

But Zelp's solution allows cows to digest typical food, with the mask working to detect, capture, and oxidize the methane in the cow's burps.

A sensor at the tip of the masks detects when a cow exhales and the percentage of methane expelled, WIRED reported. The mask sets the oxidation mechanism into action when methane levels are too high.

Westerners cannot grasp that the root cause of the problem is greed. We are in this mess because too many subhumans like eating cows. The best solution is to stop eating cows (or, better yet, eliminating the bloodlines of the subhumans who like eating cows). This is so obvious that it is impossible to miss. Yet in the Western worldview, to reduce greed is to "surrender" to the problem. In Western thinking, "solving" means getting what they want while avoiding the side-effects they don't want. Which usually means adding machines. In so doing, they get to sustainably eat as many cows as they are used to, but the cows have to suffer even more than they previously did.

(And what about the environmental impact of manufacturing the masks?)
