Скачать или смотреть Why Australia Is Burying Tons of Wool in Its Barren Land

There's an old Slavic proverb that says, "Even a sheep with mange can still give you a handful of wool."
People turn to that saying to comfort themselves when they’re stuck making a shady deal but still need to squeeze out at least a little profit.
It basically means, sure, the sheep turned out to be a disappointment, but maybe you can still make something useful out of the tiny bit of wool it has.
In sun-soaked Australia, that way of thinking has been taken quite literally.
Except they’re not talking about just one sheep. We’re talking millions of them.
And with that many sheep, the wool piles up fast, which raises the big question: how do you use all that wool in a way that brings in the most value?
Luckily, engineers and agricultural scientists came up with an answer.
Turns out, wool isn’t just for spinning into yarn. It can do a lot more...
So, what exactly did Australia decide to do with all that wool?
Surely, they didn’t actually go and bury it underground... right?
