HOLY COW, ESTONIA “PASSES GAS” TAX

Earlier this month the government of Estonia passed legislation that would have charged large farms, which house more than 300 cows or 2,000 pigs, around $5,000 each; claiming these gassy girls account for 18% of total greenhouse gas emissions.

But much like the felonious farts, the bill had little substance and was repealed Thursday after receiving widespread & well-deserved criticism. The whole point of penalizing a company for polluting is supposed to be environmental reform. But what’re these farmers supposed to do, invest in hybrid cows?
