Estonia’s Tax on Cows’ Wind

Finally, people are starting to see sense. For the environment, Estonian farmers are being taxed on their cows’, erm, flatulence. Or to put it bluntly, farting and burping now comes at a price. This Russian news site quite rightly states, “A single cow produces on average 350 litres of methane and 1,500 litres of carbon dioxide per day.” Now other countries need to follow in Estonia’s footsteps, and then go that one step further – tax all meat.
