Main Idea: Alternative Way of Using Waste To Fuel Our Daily Lives Provide Many Benefits
This article is written about a new way to provide electrical energy for our various uses. Everyday we consume about 20.5 million barrels of fossil fuel a day. Not only is it a large amount, but it is affecting the condition of our atmosphere by a lot. To counter these effects, people try to find new ways to generate electricity without the use of fossil fuels. In this article, they found that they are able to use poop. This innovative idea is able to clean of the sanitation of various countries and slow the effects of global warming while being cheap.
I found this article interesting as each new idea that we come up with, is just another step towards the end of global warming. With this new idea we can help face sanitation in many areas, help provide fuel, all while helping to stop global warming.
Though these ideas may not help us now, they are able to help the future generations to come. Making each step to fighting global warming can create fresh life for our children. Using all these ideas together is able to already make a difference themselves. If someone can come up with an idea such as poop for energy, I'm sure many more ideas are waiting to be fished out there.
