Putting Poop to Work

One man's poop, another man's fertilizer and fuel. It could actually be the same man if he owned an anaerobic digester.

In the absence of oxygen inside a digester, bacteria break down the compounds in sewage to create gaseous methane, which can be used to power gas stoves or converted to electricity. And the leftover solids are great fertilizer--high in nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous, safer than raw sewage, and stench-free.
