I quote AI: “Cows in Argentina contribute to global warming through methane emissions from enteric fermentation, which accounts for a significant portion of the country’s agricultural emissions.” I do a bit of research and find this: “From 2030, farmers in Denmark will have to pay a tax for their animals’ Seguir leyendo
The players of Estudiantes de La Plata turned their backs on Rosario Central “league champions” during a guard of honour imposed by whimsical Claudio ‘Chiqui’ Tapia, before defeating them 1-0.
