We know that dogs might light up a park with their energy and playfulness but there is a park that is actually lit up by dogs’ waste.
This park is in Cambridge, Mass., and the owners of dogs enjoying the Park, deposit their dogs’ feces into a biodegradable bag. The bag is then placed into a tube which leads to an underground digester. When the microorganisms get broken down and become organic material, menthane is created. The tube has a tank and when the dog owner turns the crank, the organic mateial is mixed and then the menthane gas rises. This gas is then piped to a lamppost which is like an eternal flame.
Interesting as this could also be done with the manure of farm animals and some people will take the concept and use it for more than lamppost lighting.
It’s a case of where waste is not waste after all 🙂
