Estonia cracks down on cows’ 'discharge'Estonian farmers will now have to pay for their cattle’s contribution to climate change. A new 'digestive gases tax' is introduced to compensate for the greenhouse gas that cows produce during their life, reports MIGnews.com.
An ordinary cow’s daily digestion results in an estimated 350 litres of methane and 1,500 litres of carbon oxide released into the atmosphere. Experts believe farms account for as much as a quarter of Estonia’s greenhouse gas emission. Opposition parties called the new tax 'unprecedented for the European Union'.

Who is up for a business here? I am thinking of starting a production of some sort of toot catalyst with meter for cows, to help farmers save money. Suggestions for brand names: Fart Sack TM or Moo-Ffler TM .

Ромыч, мне неприятно сообщать, но в твоей любимой стране, ЭSSтонии, наступила полная Ж..А! Ты даже не представляешь, ЧТО здесь начинается...

А мне кажется, что если относиться к происходящему с юмором, тогда всё не так плохо ;)
А если серьёзно, то, конечно, Эстония идёт по легкомысленному бесперспективному пути, но в то же время " в каждой избушке свои побрякушки", где сейчас лучше?..В каждой стране свой национальный абсурд.

Nice business plan.......I bet you could capitalize on it better here in Texas than in Portland. We seem to have a number of cattle down here. ;)
