I came across a rather interesting article yesterday at BBC News about a new method of heating up homes in the United Kingdom. This may seem a bit strange, but bear with me. The town of Oxfordshire are the first in the UK to use gas made out of their own human waste to heat up their homes. You can read the article by clicking here.
How unusually amazing is that? Think about it. We all go to the bathroom, so why shouldn't we put some good use into those little pieces of you know what? All this time we were destroying our earth while we were sitting on our asses producing gold. Think about how many homes can be heated up this way for a very valuable price. Also think about a family gathering where you're hosting a dinner party. It gets a little cold so you crank up the heat. A few seconds later a pungent smell starts spreading across the room. Five year old little Tommy looks over at his grandpa who's in deep sleep, snoring away, and makes a disgusted face as he covers his nose. Dad notices the smell and looks over at the disgusted little Tommy and starts to smile and shake his head. He knows, for once, that it's not grandpa that cut the cheese, but the good ol' heating system that is being put to good use. Okay, this whole scenario wouldn't really happen because there is no smell involved with this new system, but it does make for a great conversation over dinner.
So, ladies and gentlemen, the next time you're in the bathroom doing your business, think about how many innocent people are stuck in their homes with no heat. Think about the good you can do by helping out the needy. But no. Instead you selfishly just flush away, wash your hands (I hope), and spray a can of Lysol.
