▍原文
New Zealand has unveiled a plan to tax sheep and cattle burps in a bid to tackle one of the country's biggest sources of greenhouse gases.
It would make it the first nation to charge farmers for the methane emissions from the animals they keep.
Almost half the country's total greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture, mainly methane.
Under the proposal farmers will have to pay for their gas emissions from 2025. The plan also includes incentives for farmers who reduce emissions through feed additives, while planting trees on farms could be used to offset emissions.
