Wellington has the least pollution Pollution is one of the most common causes of climate change, with exhaust fumes from households and vehicles leading to environmental and health problems globally. However, in Wellington (New Zealand), that problem seems to be well under control. Wellington, New Zealand. Source: Uswitch The city scored 13.66 on the pollution index, which means that out of 100 units of air, only 13.66 is polluted. New Zealand’s air is very fresh for many reasons, the main one being that the population is not too large, the main economic sectors are agriculture, fishing and tourism, so there are no big factories like many places in the world. gender. Wellington is considered the culinary capital of New Zealand and possesses beautiful natural settings. Visitors cannot miss the “Lord of the Rings” tour, to visit famous scenes in the blockbuster of the same name or experience the props and costumes in the movie. Canberra is the most sustainable city Energy in Canberra (Australia) is mainly from solar and wind sources; and the pollution index in this city is 13.89, just behind Wellington. Canberra has an extensive public transport infrastructure and is environmentally friendly, making it possible for people to go anywhere without having to drive their own car. Tourists have easy access to tourist attractions, whether the museums, the shopping in the center or the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve in the suburbs. The city also operates a carpooling service, encouraging people to travel in groups and cutting back on solo driving. Canberra, Australia.

It is a paradise for cyclists, with dedicated lanes and many car-free lanes surrounding the city center. Walking is a great way to explore the city, people here do not attach too much importance to the use of personal cars. The pollution index in Zurich is also low, ranking third with 17.31 points. Madrid, Brisbane, Dubai, Copenhagen are in the top 5 Immediately after Canberra is the Spanish capital, which owns a green space of up to 64 square kilometers, with 300,000 trees. The parks in Madrid are always a destination that attracts residents and visitors. The most famous is the Monte de el Pardo park, a green nature reserve about 50 times the size of Central Park in New York (USA). Both Brisbane (Australia) and Dubai (UAE) have priority policies for sustainable development. While Brisbane implements its “Clean, Green, Sustainable 2017-2031” strategy focusing on clean air, biodiversity and low carbon emissions; while Dubai named itself “sustainable city” to promote the green development model.

Food is also a strong point of Copenhagen, as there are 15 Michelin-starred restaurants in the city. Nairobi is the leader in green energy The world is strongly promoting sustainable energy and cutting carbon emissions. Nairobi (Kenya) is at the forefront of this movement, with more than 90% of its energy coming from sustainable sources such as hydro or geothermal. However, poor air quality, pollution rates make Nairobi low in this ranking. Nairobi, Kenya.

The city is a popular tourist destination in Europe, with a variety of choices from beautiful natural vistas to quaint towns and castles. In third place is Lima, the capital of Peru. After years of facing air pollution, the city has turned to solar power to try to reduce emissions. The city also installed large billboards that function as air purifiers.

The building was built on the old Carlton hotel, where President Ho Chi Minh used to work during his years in London. Photo: VNA One morning in June in the cool early summer period, the London sky is blue, the sun is golden like honey, I visited the Drayton Court Hotel on The Avenue in Ealing district, west of London. Elegantly located in one of London’s greenest and most beautiful suburbs, Drayton Court is one of the oldest and largest pubs in Ealing, opening in 1894. With its impressive façade and antique décor Classic, elegant, this is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing weekend with the family, or enjoy a drink with friends at one of West London’s largest beer gardens. Song Drayton Court is also attractive to visitors because this is the only hotel in London that has ever had a waiter who later became a world-class leader, that is President Ho Chi Minh. On the Drayton Court’s website, the hotel’s history introduction reads, “Ho Chi Minh, the leader of Vietnam, worked hard in the hotel’s kitchen in 1914, before he continued his journey to change his name. changed the country’s history, driving out forces from Japan, France and the United States.” In 1914, President Ho Chi Minh served at the Drayton Court Hotel located on the quiet, deserted The Avenue street, in the Ealing district, west London. Photo: VNA/phat Stepping into the hotel with classical and elegant architecture and decoration, giving visitors a feeling of relaxation, I can’t help but be moved when I imagine the days of hard work to exhaustion of the young man. Nguyen Tat Thanh was in his twenties here more than a century ago. Talking to the hotel’s receptionist, I learned that after Drayton Court was renovated in 2011, the kitchen where Uncle used to work was completely rebuilt and became part of the cool green beer garden, Open space located behind the hotel. Walking around the beer garden where local guests happily enjoy beers with friends, I seem to see a glimpse of a slender Vietnamese young man who does not care much, hard at work in the old kitchen of the customer. hotel. Although Drayton Court is no longer imprinted with the period when President Ho Chi Minh worked here, his imprint still seems to be intact. When I was struggling to look around the outside corners of the hotel to get a good picture, a man in his 60s approached and asked: “Do you know what’s so special about this building?”. I pretended to ask: “What is it?”, “This is where President Ho Chi Minh of Vietnam used to work”. I felt a mixture of amazement, delight and pride. Amidst the busy modern life of London, a British citizen mentioned the leader of Vietnam in a historical event more than a century ago. Before I could react, he continued: “This is really an interesting and special destination for Ealing. A lot of tourists have come to visit.” The man, named Brian, said he lived in an apartment complex right next to the hotel. When he learned that I was Vietnamese, he excitedly said that he had met many Vietnamese tourists coming here, and expressed his admiration for Ho Chi Minh, who had found the way to liberate the Vietnamese people. Drayton Court Hotel is located on the quiet, deserted The Avenue street, in the Ealing district, west London. Photo: VNA/phat Leaving Drayton Court with mixed joy and pride, I continued my journey to the New Zealand building located on Haymarket Street. In contrast to the quiet space of Drayton Court on the deserted The Avenue, the modern New Zealand building is located at the end of bustling Haymarket Street in the heart of London, close to Trafalgar Square and the National Museum of London. The New Zealand High Commission’s 19-story building was the first high-rise to be built in central London, on the site of the Carlton Hotel, a luxury hotel that opened between 1899 and 1940 before being completely destroyed by bombs. in war. While living in London, President Ho Chi Minh worked as a kitchen assistant at the Carlton Hotel. The front of the New Zealand building has a green peace sign with the words “In 1913, Ho Chi Minh (1890-1969) – the founder of Vietnam – worked at the Carlton Hotel, the building that used to be on this ground”. This place is probably the most famous destination in London with Vietnamese tourists. Vietnamese delegations to London often ask the New Zealand High Commissioner to visit the basement below the building, where the kitchen of the Carlton Hotel was formerly. The New Zealand building is also known by many locals and visitors for its speciality. As I was reading intently the green sign outside the building, to my surprise a man on a bicycle stopped by and happily asked if I would like him to take a picture of the underside of the sign, because you’re sure I’m Vietnamese. Not only did he agree immediately, but I asked if he could take a picture with me at this meaningful place. The 10-minute conversation between me and Mr. Steven helped me understand his special affection for Vietnam. Steven said he was originally from London, living in Covent Garden, about a kilometer from the New Zealand building. He said he really admired Ho Chi Minh’s patriotism and said that it was that patriotism that helped him find the way to independence for the nation. Steven made me feel really grateful when he said that whenever I or my friends come to the UK, give him a call. Sitting right on the sidewalk, he wrote on a small piece of paper his name, address and phone number, gave it to me and said that he always welcomes Vietnamese friends. I feel very fortunate to have met Steven, because the brief meeting helped me understand that Ho Chi Minh’s patriotism, courage, and vision made the whole world aware of the cause of Vietnamese national liberation. Male. In May 1913, Ho Chi Minh left France for England, the largest empire in the world at that time, to learn English and observe first-hand the dominating power of imperialism. In England, in order to make ends meet and spend money to learn English, he worked hard as sweeping snow, lighting furnaces, helping cooks at the Drayton Court Hotel and washing dishes at the Carlton Hotel. According to writer, historian, director of the Archives Center, Marx Library in London, John Callow, 4 years in London contributed to the formation of Ho Chi Minh’s thought. It was here that he first read the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and creatively applied Marxism to the cause of national liberation and independence. President Ho Chi Minh’s journey to find a way to save the country created a turning point of the Vietnamese revolution, changed the development direction of history and changed the fate of the entire Vietnamese nation in the 20th century. and at the same time make a mark in the history of the modern world. From a true patriot, Uncle Ho became a communist soldier, finding the right way to save the country in accordance with the historical situation of the country. For me, the trip to follow Uncle Ho in London left special emotions. I am secretly grateful to Him because His greatness has helped strangers like me, Steven and Brian become close friends.

New Zealand has the most expensive housing market in the world. (Source: stuff.co.nz) According to Bloomberg Economics, real estate prices around the world is exploding strongly, from which the warning will form a real estate bubble unprecedented since the 2008 financial crisis. Based on the key indicators used in Bloomberg Economics’ calculations, New Zealand, Canada and Sweden are ranked as the top countries, respectively. Expensive housing market best of the world. Meanwhile, the UK and US are also near the top of the risk charts. Bloomberg Economics economist Niraj Shah says there are multiple factors contributing to the rise in home prices to unprecedented levels worldwide, including record low interest rates, massive fiscal stimulus packages, and massive bailouts. Backup savings can serve as a down payment, limited housing stock and expectations of a strong recovery in the global economy. Besides, the trend of working from home to avoid infection COVID-19 causing more people to need more living space and many governments giving tax incentives to homebuyers also increase the demand to buy houses. According to calculations by Bloomberg Economics, the ratio of price to rent and price to income will help assess the sustainability of housing price increases. Bloomberg Economics analyzes that even as risk indicators rise, with interest rates remaining low, lending standards generally higher than before, and macro-prudential policies in place, the cause led to the real estate market collapse is not clear. Mr. Shah said that in the coming period, it is likely that the real estate market will witness a cooling, not a collapse. As interest rates start to rise and other measures are put in place to protect financial stability, the property market will face an “important test,” Shah said.

Vehicles move on the street in Wellington, New Zealand. (Photo: THX/VNA) It is no coincidence that New Zealand consistently tops the rankings of both Bloomberg and Australia’s Lowy Institute for COVID-19 response. At the end of 2020, Bloomberg ranked New Zealand as the country with the best overall response in the world to the pandemic. In May 2021, the country in Oceania continued to hold the top spot in Bloomberg’s ranking, despite the rate vaccination against COVID-19 in New Zealand is still quite low, 4.8% of the population, while this index of Singapore, the second ranked country, is up to 29.9%. It is worth mentioning that from October 2020 to May 2021, only in April, New Zealand “gives” this top position to Singapore. Over the past three months, New Zealand has not recorded any more cases of infection in the community. Since the discovery of the first COVID-19 patient on February 28, 2020, this Pacific island nation has had a total of 2,681 cases, of which 17 are being treated, 26 have died and 2,638 who recovered. Life has almost returned to normal for the Kiwi Country’s 5 million people. Authorities lifted restrictions on people and economic activity in the country, but mostly closed borders to prevent the virus from entering the country. When assessing New Zealand as the world’s leader in COVID-19 response, experts agreed that the country had taken the most decisive, quick and effective measures to handle the pandemic, with the least impact. to economic and social activity. To achieve this, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s government, with the support of the people and business community, has adopted a strategy of “going ahead and going strong.” New Zealand’s anti-epidemic model is basically prevent the virus from entering foreign countries, purchase equipment to protect essential workers, strengthen testing, contact tracing, isolating cases and above all implementing blockade and social distancing society to cut off the chain of infection.The “secret” of this country can be summed up in six words: drastic-timely-synchronous. Immediately after the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the SARS-CoV-2 virus as a global health emergency, New Zealand on February 2, 2020 decided to ban the entry via air of foreign nationals. All passengers arriving from China, while New Zealand citizens and arrivals from other countries must self-isolate for 14 days. On March 25, when the number of cases in the country was about 200, New Zealand quickly declared a national emergency and Close the border Although the country’s economy is heavily dependent on tourism. Foreigners entering by air and sea must be tested and isolated at a designated facility. With this step, New Zealand has “locked” the door to the virus entering from abroad. The New Zealand government also urgently establishes a national system to directly register personal protective equipment to identify all equipment manufacturers capable of supporting the fight against the epidemic. Many domestic enterprises have responded and increased domestic production or cooperated with foreign companies to find sources to buy masks, hand sanitizer, face shields and medical gowns. The government is also promoting the establishment of a public-private joint venture to purchase test kits and reagents (chemicals for testing the SARS-CoV-2 virus) from various suppliers. While many countries are also looking to buy these medical items when supplies are scarce, New Zealand has achieved a higher test rate than developed countries like the US or South Korea at the same time, with about 2,200 tested per 100,000 population by mid-May 2020. For contact tracing, New Zealand using both “low technology” and high technology to identify and test all close contacts of COVID-19 patients for 14 days. The primary method of tracing is that officials ask each COVID-19 patient to identify their close contact. In addition, the “NZ COVID Tracer” smartphone application for tracing virus infections was deployed simultaneously. People wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Auckland, New Zealand, February 14, 2021. (Photo: THX/VNA) New Zealand has stopped, not just mitigated, the spread of the disease in the community thanks to the rapid adoption of very strong measures. On March 25, 2020, just three days after confirming a domestic infection, authorities implemented a nationwide blockade measure. This is one of the countries applying the strictest blockade order in the world. Although New Zealanders have a high sense of self-discipline, the police still encourage citizens to report violators of epidemic prevention regulations. In just a few weeks, police received more than 336 reports of violations. New Zealand’s disease chart in the first wave of infections last year has demonstrated the effectiveness of anti-epidemic measures. The number of new cases per day began to decrease significantly from 89 cases / day on April 5 to only 9 cases / day two weeks later. On April 27, the government began easing the blockade order, although it still imposed some distancing measures. On May 13, New Zealand did not record any new cases, so on June 8, the government completely lifted the blockade order. During the outbreaks of re-emergence in Auckland city in August 2020 and February 2021, authorities immediately took drastic measures. For example, on February 14, New Zealand locked down Auckland, the largest city in the country to prevent the COVID-19 epidemic after recording three new infections in the community on the same day. Meanwhile, the remaining localities apply level 2 restrictive measures. When the outbreak in the community is extinguished, restrictive measures are also eased step by step with extreme caution. One highlight of New Zealand’s anti-epidemic work is the application of technology. New Zealand was one of the first developed countries to use a smartphone app to track infections. In April, the country also launched a trial of a surveillance “elarm” application to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus, with an accuracy of up to 90% within three days before the patient showed symptoms. such as cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Integrated with wearable devices such as smart watches or health monitoring devices, the application uses artificial intelligence to detect sudden changes in the user’s heart rate, temperature body temperature, thereby providing an early warning to detect signs of COVID-19. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern (centre). (Photo: AFP/VNA) Experts say that New Zealand has proactive, strong, focused, science-based epidemic response measures, and at the same time implements these measures well. In research published in the journal The Lancet Public Health, expert Sarah Jefferies and colleagues point to the factors contributing to New Zealand’s success in the fight against the pandemic are rapid improvements in testing capacity and management. handling cases, the blockade order was for a short time (almost 4 weeks) but very strict. In addition, rapid interventions when the number of cases is low, for example, the warning level increases from 1-4 in five days when the number of cases has not exceeded 1,000 cases. A team of experts from the University of Otago (New Zealand) highlighted the key element of the government’s rapid, science-based risk assessment combined with early and decisive action. The implementation of interventions at various levels (border control, control of community spread, and control of cases) are also effective against the epidemic. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is highly appreciated for her ability to effectively convey the main message to the community – consider fighting the epidemic as the task of a unified collective of 5 million people, thereby being trusted and obeyed by the people. under very strict restrictions. The above-mentioned drastic measures against the epidemic helped reduce human losses with a very low mortality rate, only 0.53 cases per 100,000 people, but also cost the economy due to the closure policy as well as the impact of the pandemic. Translate. New Zealand’s economy recorded a record 2.9% contraction in 2020. However, in terms of the long-term outlook, the economy is forecasted to grow again this year thanks to the government’s economic stimulus package and New Zealand’s ability to restore normal life as before. pandemic. Moreover, it is the good control of the epidemic that has brought New Zealand’s great economic recovery opportunities. The results of a Bloomberg survey conducted in October 2020 with the participation of about 700 people, most of them senior executives in many industries, of which 53% are from large corporations and 47% are from large corporations. SMEs, showing that New Zealand is the country most trusted by business leaders to invest in the future. In fact, the economy of the “kiwi land” has rebounded as business confidence recently improved and the unemployment rate plummeted to 4.7% in the first quarter of 2021. The Ministry of Finance projects gross domestic product (GDP) growth to reach 2.9% in 2021 and gradually accelerate to 4.4% in 2023. Kiwibank’s chief economist, Jarrod Kerr, said the view For the future, a program to roll out vaccines, travel bubbles with Australia and many other countries in 2021 will support solid growth in 2022. New Zealand’s drastic, timely and synchronous approach to the COVID-19 epidemic, from blockade, distance, to tracing and treatment, has become a model of anti-epidemic recognized by the international community. and provide useful lessons to help governments plan how to respond to the current pandemic as well as future pandemic outbreaks.

We have just seen the beauty of Japanese cultural icons who are geishas of a century ago with fragile appearances like “pure jade ice” in the previous article. Surely many people are very curious, not knowing if in the land of Kim Chi, will the old girls keep their current beautiful form? During the Goryeo and Joseon periods, Gisaeng girls appeared in abundance and were trained like Japanese geisha. They are taught artistic skills to entertain customers with songs, dances, and other talents. The prostitute, although still considered a low-level profession, played an important role in Joseon culture. In addition to outstanding talent, gisaeng must also be people who have more beauty than people. Prominent among them is Jang Yeon Hong. She was born in 1911 and by the age of 14 was famous for her talent and integrity. She was originally a lady born into a noble family, but then her family went bankrupt and was forced to join the gisaeng group to make a living. The beauty of the Jang family has a full round face, single eyelid eyes, high nose bridge and plump lips. Although the five senses seem a bit different from the current Korean beauty standards, at that time it made many boys fall in love. Her beauty still resonates throughout the Korean peninsula. At the age of 21, she went to study abroad in Shanghai and has been missing ever since. The famous beauty with another prostitute profession is Oh San Wol. During the Joseon era in 1918, no one did not know her. Looking at the image passed down, it can be seen that the makeup standard in the Joseon period has some similarities with Japan when the lips, skin, and eyebrows are made up to resemble geisha. Oh San Wol’s front view is not widely circulated, but her side shots are really surprising. The beauty of the Oh family has a high, pointed nose for a sharp, attractive face. No wonder she is hailed as the gisaeng of thousands of people in the Joseon era. Jang Yeon Hong and Oh San Wol are two beauties who have more beautiful beauty than humans and are praised and recorded by history books. So what about the common ground of Korean beauties in this period? When plastic surgery services were not developed, the old Korean girls stood out with their simple and kind beauty, with the typical beauty of monolid eyes and a rather low nose. Their chin in the past was often round, but not V-line as standard today. Sometimes the pictures of old Korean girls have some similarities with Vietnamese people. In some areas, girls are often married and have children very early, so it can be said that their beauty has not yet bloomed. It can be said that in each era, there will be beauties who possess more beauty than people and are praised by the people. So is the land of Kim Chi, 100 years ago the condition of beauty technology was not developed, the lines on the faces of the young women were still a bit rough, but in return, their skin has always been famous. is pinkish white, smooth. Part of Europe is also because Korea has a mild climate and less intense sunshine. However, the important thing is that they also have traditional beauty secrets. The ancient Koreans believed that a good appearance originates from within the body. Therefore, they have paid great attention to the production of cosmetics capable of nurturing beauty from within. Traditional Korean cosmetics are made from plants and grains with a unique and natural fragrance. In historical records, in Silla’s time, people used to apply lard to the skin to avoid cold and dry weather. The Manchu people used lard to ward off the cold and help soften the skin. Later, many other vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, rapeseed oil were used to smooth the skin. When there was no soap or shower gel to clean the skin, ancient Korean women made their own jodu – a powdered mung bean paste used as a cleaning soap when mixed with water, this solution has contains saponins, one of the effective cleaning agents. Fruit juices such as gourd juice are also used to cleanse the skin. Besides, the ancient Korean girls also used ginseng roots or pureed beans to exfoliate their skin. In legends from the time of Dangun, it is said that wormwood and garlic are excellent cosmetic ingredients used in winter. After 100 days, thanks to eating garlic and wormwood, the woman with honey skin can turn white. Since then, garlic has always been a must-have spice in Korean dishes.

The top four destinations, Spain, France, Italy and the United States, were eliminated, angering airlines and travel agencies as they continue to struggle to survive. Travelers returning from these four countries are still required to self-isolate upon their return to the UK. Turkey – a major destination is also off the list, tourists have to spend 10 days in quarantine and pay for themselves at the hotel. Despite lifting the ban on foreign travel, the British Government still advises people to avoid traveling to countries in the red or amber yellow bands on the Covid-19 warning map. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said it was the first step in Britain’s cautious return to international travel, with measures prioritizing protecting public health and ensuring no damage. achievements in recent years. Comercio Square (Lisbon, Portugal) amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Source: Reuters Many travel centers, airlines and tour operators in Southern Europe have been eagerly waiting for the “big guests” from the UK, but they will have to wait a few more months. Meanwhile, after Portugal entered the UK government’s “green list”, bookings increased by 250% in just a few days, according to statistics from Thomas Cook and Club Med. TUI also said it has added more flights to Portugal. Airlines, airports and travel businesses think the UK Government is being overly cautious; and such limited opening will continue to hinder the tourism industry, which already has many effective solutions to ensure safety. Representatives from Heathrow Airport and British Airways both called on the government to add more countries to the “green list” and allow fully vaccinated people to travel without restrictions. An opinion piece from the British Airline Pilots Association said: “This excessive caution by the government is extremely disappointing to all who work in the travel sector.”

Houses with simple images and designs like this make viewers dizzy when looking at them. The house has a cute, cartoon-like design that always attracts the attention of the children in the neighborhood. The wooden man is also designed into a strange and unique house image. The upside-down house style attracts attention in Szymbark, Poland. This is also a place that attracts a lot of tourists’ attention when everyone is curious about the structure and architecture inside the house. “The tooth loss house” is designed simply but no less bizarre. With this type of house, people only have one way in and out, which is to go through a small hole designed specifically like a slide. The structure of the house is designed exactly like a mobile vehicle but… can’t move. Dogs are very popular animals in the West, and people in New Zealand did not ignore this unique idea when building their own apartment. The house “follows” the pyramid. Outsiders will probably be quite shy, afraid to step inside in front of the somewhat ghostly structure, just like the devil in the small forest of this house. Unique design on tile roof. The house is designed in the shape of a shoe. The old house is designed right in the middle of the river, used instead of the bridge. In Japan, this house located entirely on the tree will make it extremely difficult for outsiders to get in and out because it has to climb high. The old building was designed to look like a ship in Croatia. The wool shop in Tirau, Waikato, New Zealand is built on the image of a lamb.

(Photo: AFP / VNA) Goverment New Zealand has suspended the program stimulate tourism just opened to Australia, after appearing a drive COVID-19 translation new in this neighboring country. Announcing on the official website on April 23, the New Zealand Government stated: “As agreed in the Trans-Tasman tourism stimulus protocol (between the two countries), the travel between New Zealand and Western Australia. had to pause, wait for the next announcement. ” The decision was made after the state of Western Australia said the Perth and Peel regions began a 3-day blockade (from 0:00 on April 24) after a tourist tested positive for the SARS virus. -CoV-2 causes COVID-19 disease. Local media reported that a man in his 50s traveled from Perth to Melbourne on April 21 and tested positive on the morning of April 23. Previously, this person underwent regulatory quarantine at a hotel in Perth and when the quarantine ended, for five days in the city, he went to several restaurants, a university, a swimming pool. public, a private clinic and a friend’s home before leaving. The friend he visited also tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. New Zealand and Australia has opened a program to stimulate tourism in isolation since April 18, nearly 400 days after the two sides closed the border due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This program is the result of months of negotiations between two neighboring countries that have essentially curbed this translation, which is seen as a major effort to re-start the travel industry between the two countries that are already heavily impacted. plague. Under the program, passengers from Australia to New Zealand can fly over the Tasman Sea without having to undergo mandatory isolation on entry.

Cows and other ruminants use microbes in their stomachs to break down tough fibers that cannot be digested by humans. Artwork: AFP. Accordingly, one of the largest dairy producers in the world, the Fonterra Cooperative Group, is using a cocktail branded “Kowbucha”, a well-known kombucha fermented drink, to see if it can reduce the anesthetic gas. -tane produced from 4.9 million New Zealand cows. Unlike most developed economies, New Zealand is heavily dependent on agriculture, especially cows and sheep. So while other countries focus on cutting carbon dioxide, New Zealand has a much bigger problem with gases produced in animal stomachs. “The ferment produced can have quite a large impact on digestion, not just in humans, but also in animals,” said Jeremy Hill, a scientific researcher at the Fonterra Cooperative Group. Kowbucha is one of the company’s options, and the company is also looking at other options including seaweed. The technology is still in the early stages of research and, like other potential solutions to treat methane emissions from cows, questions about how to implement it are and whether the farmer will have enough. affordability or not. But what matters for New Zealand is whether it reaches zero net emissions. Methane, made up of carbon and hydrogen, is 56 times more effective than the effects of CO2 to heat the Earth when measured over 20 years. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that global methane levels need to be reduced by 40-45% by 2030 to be able to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. . What’s more, because methane has been in the atmosphere for only a decade, reducing it can yield a relatively quick victory over CO2, which has been around for centuries. The Global Methane Assessment, to be released next week, shows that curbing man-made methane emissions at 45% by 2030 will drop by almost 0.3 degrees Celsius. global warming in the 2040s, preventing more than a quarter of a million premature deaths. But the scientific approach to reducing the emissions from cow digestion is much more difficult than to limit other methane emissions, such as oil and gas field outbreaks or leaks from fields. bury. Cows and other ruminants use microbes in their stomachs to break down tough fibers that cannot be digested by humans. Therefore, suppressing the methane they generate requires adjusting the biology and physiology of the animal. Like the Kowbucha solution, Fonterra is working on using red seaweed to suppress bacteria. The company partnered with the Dutch Royal DSM NV Nutrition Company to accelerate the rollout of Bovaer, a synthetic feed supplement that has been shown to reduce methane emissions by about 30%. The company, which has an annual $ 72 million research budget, has also researched the development of “climate-smart” cows whose stomachs release less methane, as well as research to develop vaccines. But producing climate-friendly cows takes years and vaccine development is “very, very difficult,” Hill said. Seaweeds, which have attracted a lot of attention in recent years, are difficult to eat in grassland animals, species that do not like the taste and may have safety problems with substances such as bromoform, A toxic chemical found in small amounts in ocean plants. Dairy companies are under increasing consumer pressure to reduce livestock carbon emissions, according to Dan Blaustein-Rejto, director of agriculture and food at Breakthrough Institute, an environmental research organization. Creating more climate-friendly products could allow them to gain an edge and could help fight competition from a growing number of alternatives, such as oatmilk, sandwiches. Vegan meats and other plant-based alternatives. If successful, the New Zealand efforts could serve as a test case for the global livestock industry, especially countries like Ireland and Brazil that rely on ruminants for a share of export revenue. . But the Climate Change Commission says technologies under development cannot be considered to meet the interim goal. Harry Clark, commissioner of the Climate Change Commission, said: “The silver bullet (referring to the easy, quick-PV solution) for dairy technology has only been taken into account for the past 12 years. It hasn’t worked yet. “

Towards the end of this century, organisms living on the ocean floor faced increasing dangers from ocean warming. (Photo: thiennhien.net) According to climate warming projections, the number of species has decreased in the equator and increased in the subtropics since the 1950s. This is the general state of all 48,661 species and they are divided into sub-species. seabed (benthic) and in open water (floating fish area), fish, molluscs and crustaceans. Results from a study led by the University of Auckland (New Zealand) show that open water marine species in the Northern Hemisphere tend to move more towards the North Pole than benthic species. Meanwhile, species in the southern hemisphere do not have a similar wave of movement. The reason is that the warming ocean in the Northern Hemisphere is more pronounced than the Southern Hemisphere. In the past, the tropics were always considered to be stable and have an ideal temperature for reproduction because so many species of organisms appear there. Now the defined tropics are not so stable and are becoming too hot for many species. This study is the result of doctoral work by lead author Chhaya Chaudhary at the University of Auckland and builds on a series of studies in a joint research group that delineates documents and data on taxonomy groups. Specifically, these include crustaceans, fish and worms. The data is taken from the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS), a free accessible online world database established by Professor Mark Costello of the University as part of the marine biology investigation, a global marine exploration program from 2000 to 2010. Recorded information about the time and location of species was compiled into latitude ranges and a statistical model was used. Use to calculate variables in sampling. Last year, Professor Costello co-authored a study that found that although marine biodiversity escalated and peaked at the equator during the last ice age 20,000 years ago, it was pulled flat before the status quo. global warming in the industrial era. This study uses fossil records of marine plankton buried in deep-sea sediments to track changes in species diversity over thousands of years. The latest research on a decade scale shows that this flat drag has continued over the past century, and that the number of species is now decreasing at the equator. This research, and other work underway, shows that the number of marine species declines when the average annual seawater temperature is above 20 to 25 degrees Celsius (varies with different species. ). As one of the lead authors of the current International Commission on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th Assessment Report, Professor Costello argues that these findings are of great significance. “Our work shows that man-made climate change affects marine biodiversity on a global scale across all species. Climate change is already here for us and is happening at an ever-increasing rate. We can predict general trends in species diversity, but due to the complexity of ecological interactions, it is currently unclear how rich marine life and fisheries will be. how to change according to climate change ”, said Professor Costello. According to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the rate of climate change in the depths of the world’s oceans could be seven times higher than current levels in the second half of this century even if greenhouse gas emissions have been significantly reduced. Different global warming at different depths has a major impact on the wildlife of the oceans, causing disconnections as species that rely on each other for survival are forced to move. Professor Anthony Richardson of the University of Queensland and CSIRO, who is also one of the 10 authors of the study, pointed out: “What really worries us is that when we move down deep in the ocean, the climate velocity moves downwards. transfer at different speeds ”. This can create a disconnection with species that depend on organic organisms of different layers. Tuna, for example, live in the middle layer with a depth of 200 – 1000 m, but they need plankton near the sea surface. Professor Richardson emphasized that the results of the study are of concern, with climatic speeds varying depending on the depth of the ocean and the tendency for species to move to be uneven. This may mean marine protected areas established to protect species or habitats may no longer work as species move out of protected areas into unprotected areas.
