Animal shelters around the country have found a new source of fuel to light and heat their buildings. And no, it's not corn.It's poop!
It's common knowledge that a lot of dairy farms use the waste produced by their cows to run their facilities. Will Brinton of Woods End Laboratories in Mount Vernon, Maine, has high hopes that animal shelters will be able to transform their abundance of doggy doo doo into reusable energy by THIS March!
Best part - It won't even stink! Brinton says that it will reduce odors by 80%! Wow!
This idea is way too cool, seriously. I know a lot of us pawrents have multiple hounds, so wouldn't that be great to use that poop littered in the backyard to heat your home? Almost sounds too good to be true.
