New Zealand farmers propose paying for emissions to tackle climate change
Agriculture sector faced pressure to act or be forced into the country’s emissions trading scheme, from which it is exempt
Farming leaders in New Zealand have recommended that the government impose a price on agricultural greenhouse gas emissions for the first time, as the rural sector comes under significant political pressure over its disproportionate contribution to climate change.

It’s become a strange fascination of mine, to see the large gap on the shelf, like a missing front tooth, where tampons are supposed to be.
