Oh beautiful cow….let’s use your poo to generate power.

Okay, so cow poo may never actually make it into the New York eco-chic couture circles, but here on Planet Pink n’ Green, you cows get our vote….Here’s the eco-news….

Inhabitat recently reported California PG&E’s newly adopted system to create natural gas from a vat of liquid-cow poo. Yes, you heard me right…. Ok, so it doesn’t smell of lavender fields, but, more importantly, it is helping to heal the planet. Manure when left to decompose, produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas, dozens of times more damaging than CO2.

As Inhabitat suggests: “Of course, encouraging less meat-eating might be a more obvious and easy solution to this problem, but of course, since it seems impossible to wean all Americans off hamburgers, this scheme might just be the next greatest thing.” We agree…

This falls under the category of recycling in creative ways…

Maverick cows of the world, unite!
