Here's a fun story to read about regarding our favorite automaker. As you know, Volkswagen is committed to providing standout vehicles, and making sure the production process is sustainable. This means the use of solar panels on solid ground. It's eco-friendly, but the automaker has another way to help maintain the land: sheep.
There are 50 sheep that VW uses to not only graze the grass where the solar panels are so it doesn't get overgrown, but they also fertilize it too to keep the ground from eroding. The sheep are able to get into places that mowers can't. There's also a few donkeys that help alert the sheep of any threatening wildlife. It's all at the automaker's Chattanooga facility, which has an expansive space of land with 33,600 solar modules. It's part of the plan to go carbon neutral by 2050, and pretty cool at that.
