There are many cultures that already burn cow dung and other waste products in this manner, so what she's proposing again doesn't seem all that revolutionary. What do you think?

I like her thought process where she sees the waste we produce as something we 'contribute' to the planet and can be put to good use. My only concern with her loowatt idea is, at some point, it has to be cleaned. Are you going to do it?

^^ I agree.
First off, I think Vmeo sucks. But back on topic. I disapprove of my poop being used for those purposes. I'm all for treating it in sewers and flushing it away to a world I must never know of. I do not endorse this product mainly because of it's biodegradable nature of composition. First off, no, I don't want to clean it. Secondly, I don't want a poop made pooping machine. Just gross. |
