Director’s Statement: 59% to 75% of young people report feeling worried, anxious, or even hopeless when thinking about the climate crisis, so when I discovered adding 1% pink seaweed to cow feed cuts cow methane emissions by 99.9%, I crafted the story of Cowabunga, a cow who feels climate despair when he finds out his methane gas is toxifying the planet. By sharing my film with you, I hope to combat climate despair in young people and turn them into warriors for the planet.
Synopsis: When a young calf named Cowabunga discovers in The MooMoo Times that he is polluting the planet with his methane burps, he falls into despair. Intrepid cow that he is, Cowabunga embarks upon a quest to discover how he can save the planet. The little-known, real-life solution he discovers in an octopus scientist’s lab might surprise you!
