When my teacher, Clarissa, shared with me that cows munching a smidge of pink seaweed reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 98%, I was intrigued–especially since I’m a guy and anything to do with passing gas is still a bit funny. And so, I decided to write a funny rhyming poem to let people know the good news about something scientists at CSIRO and Dr. Nicholas Paul’s Seaweed Research Group at Queensland's University of the Sunshine Coast are studying because usually, we only hear bad news about climate change, and that just causes us to feel helpless and depressed. I think humor has the power to get people to laugh and care. The big takeaway from researching this topic and trying to craft a message to arrest people’s attention is that solutions can come from the most unexpected places as pink seaweed is actually an invasive species. I think we need to more often look to Nature for solutions because if Earth’s history were a roll of toilet paper, human history would be the last millimeter on the last square.
