Beautify While You Pee in Paris!

Reverse Sewage System to Power UK Homes

In Manchester, England, they've figured out a way to directly poop-power homes with biomethane gas (converted from city sewage). The gas is pumped directly into people's homes! That's right, kids...you flush your poop down the toilet, and then they send it back to you! Craaaazy!

And if you can't tell, we're going for a record number of instances of the word poop in a single post. How'd we do?

San Antonio to Sell Farts

Yes kids, it's true. The City of San Antonio Water System is going to sell sewer gas (that's methane to all you kids at home who missed the science segments on Monday Adventure Club) to raise a few extra bucks. Really. I can't make up stuff this good. Plus it's good for the environment--talk about recycling! Now if we could only harness all those cow farts that Reagan was always so concerned about...
