是農場的動物打嗝放屁!
Oh! Come on! Ewww!
(Sigh) But hey, it’s not their fault, right?
也不能怪他們阿.
I mean, we all do it … right?
Exactly… The problem is,
there are just so many farm animals, and every time
they fart or burp,
a tiny bit of this gas comes out into the air.
All of these farts and burps add up!
(SFX:/burp/fart/burp/fart/burp)
That’s enough! We all get it!
3.But who’s going to
save us from this dangerous gas?
誰來想辦法?
(Heroic music)

Outta the way Wonder Woman!

Seaweed
就是海帶…
it’s a plant that grows in the ocean.
Usually it’s green, but have you ever seen pink seaweed
海帶不是綠色嗎? 則麼會有粉紅色呢?
Some farmers in Australia
feed their cows this special pink seaweed.
They found out that when animals eat this,
their farts and burps
have much less of the dangerous gas … 99% less!
粉紅色海帶好有用! 危險的氣體都沒了!
The farmers hope that one day,
there’ll be enough pink seaweed to feed all
the cows, sheep, and goats in the whole world!
(SFX: cow / sheep)
That would make a huge difference to our planet!
