An innovative face mask for cows, designed to reduce methane emissions and slow down climate change, has won a prestigious design award.
The wearable device for cattle, created by UK-based design group Zelp, was one of the four winners of the inaugural Terra Cart Design Lab competition.
Prince Charles, who launched the competition as part of his Sustainable Markets Initiative, hailed the ground-breaking design as "fascinating" at an awards ceremony in London on Wednesday.
The design, a smart harness for cows, converts methane into carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Cows expel significant quantities of methane, an odorless greenhouse gas, which is more than 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere.
A sensor at the tip of the masks detects when a cow exhales and the percentage of methane expelled, WIRED reported. The mask sets the oxidation mechanism into action when methane levels are too high.
The mask also collects data on the animals to improve efficiency and animal welfare on farms.

Is the The Bee?
People have seen through the mask hoax. So all those mask manufacturers need to repurpose their products. Will the cows object? Or be obedient slaves to Dr. Moochi?
All environmentalists should kill themselves for Gaia.
And what's really sad is we continue to dig to go lower.
Not the Bee?
Put one on Prince Charles.
10k dollar device on every cow.
Imagine
Or at the very least promise never to use ANY fossil fuels from this point on. Can’t wait to see how that works for them.
Proof that “climate change” is a joke.
Animal cruelty
If I was a cow, I would not stand for this. Masks today... jabs tomorrow, where will this lead? They are herding cows like they were... sheep.
It's time to arm them!
These globohomo global warmers are absolutely sick
Suck off...
Communists are much better at solving imaginary problems than real ones like the price of gas.
Burp, ..... fart.
A nation of ahs
The only thing that makes sense here is that it’s the “Prince Charles” prize: a stupid prince giving a stupid award for a stupid idea.
Meanwhile, China and India must be laughing their butts off.
This can’t be serious or real....
We live in a stupid age.
