We have heard of recycling and apparently one of them includes this one which calls for the conversion of landfills and then soliciting methane gas landfills. If not trapped, the rising methane becomes a greenhouse gas at least 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide and accounts for 25 percent of all methane associated with human behavior.

In the conversion process, pipes running throughout the landfill vacuum up the gases and feed them into huge combustion engines that turn a generator. The resulting electricity is then transmitted to homes and offices via the electrical grid.

This may not only be great news for finding other means of generating power but can perhaps create more jobs while protecting the environment in the process. You can view the video report here.

Though we don’t hear about it too much, the fact remains that human waste can be put to good use. And it seems that poop can be a good fuel alternative with extra power at that.

Animal waste has been proven to be a good alternative to powering vehicles. But from the looks of it, we can get more power from human poop once it has been stabilized and developed. See the video for yourself!

The great thing about this is that all of this is done indoors, which saves on having to take stuff outside in all of the bad weather etc. being made from stainless steel it means that you will be guaranteed that it should be lasting for a while at least.

I found a cute ceramic compost keeper at Amazon.

The ceramic compost keeper is small enough that it fits in your kitchen counter, is great for small or tight spaces, and will hold plenty of scraps for you to compost later. It comes in white which should go with a variety of kitchen design schemes and it is really cute.

From the looks of the reviews from recent buyers, it seems to do the job, and people seem to really like the fact that it comes with built-in filters, to keep odors in.

Should make for neat and smell free composting.
