Hi Green People! I will post a more thorough explanation later, but I am currently attempting to create a "Gobar Gas" unit at my house. The basic concept is that we have left over rice banana peels and other kitchen waste. The idea is that I don't want to just sent that trash to some dump and it is actually the basis for fuel(methane). Of course if your food has any oil in it like french fries then you can't use that. Basically anything that will break down. Cow Dung is the best, but since I don't have a cow(no pun intended) I can use basic kitchen waste.

So what’s so great about renewable energy? Right now we use a lot of coal and oil for
energy, but we can’t reuse these fuels. Once they’re gone they’re gone. Burning these
fuels causes major pollution problems and increases global warming.
Renewable energy is energy that won’t go away and will always be there to use again and
again. The wind, the sun and even ocean waves are examples of clean renewable energy.
We are now finding ways to make lots of power from clean renewable energy, so we will

Although I know this is an "ancient" idea; when it comes to Mexico (country where I happily live) We just don´t seem to grasp the task (and maybe for some: "trouble") of separating organic waste from one that is not.

The other day, and maybe this is not such a major event for some, I saw it the supermarket this factory labeled containers with "organic or innorganic" words on them. Thats a sweet advancement!
