Getting Green: Pooping For the Future
My favorite project concerns "bio solids" (a.k.a. crap). When you flush your toilet, your feces is diverted to an old oil chamber where it is left to decompose. As this happens, the shit lets off a bunch of methane which is then converted into energy for the city. (Don't worry - it's clean by then.) How cool is that? Apparently, we're the first city to really do this on a large scale.
