New Zealand's government has proposed a tax on the greenhouse gases that emit from farm animals pooping and peeing in a plan to tackle climate change.
The government said the farm levy would be a world first, and that farmers should be able to recoup the cost by charging more for climate-friendly products.
New Zealand's government on Tuesday proposed taxing the greenhouse gasses that farm animals make from burping and peeing as part of a plan to tackle climate change. Farmers quickly condemned the plan.
