Cow do you do! Charles and the eco moo mask
THE Prince of Wales was given a demonstration of a face mask for cattle at an exhibition for cutting livestock emissions yesterday.
Charles was shown the Zelp device, which has been proven to cut methane emissions from cows’ burps by more than half.
He met its inventor Francisco Norris, pictured, and asked: ‘It doesn’t stop them breathing?’ ‘No, it just sits on top,’ Mr Norris replied. The mask was one of four winning designs by students and alumni of the Royal College of Art who took part in a competition held at the Terra Carta Design Lab.
The Lab was founded by Charles and RCA chancellor Sir Jony Ive. The prince toured the exhibition in London showcasing 20 finalists.
