you can use poop for your plants i use rabbit or chicken and i have a profitable garden i dont like chemicals on the plants i eat you do have to let the poop cool off for about a month because when its fresh it will burn your plants they will turn yellow and die but you can use it my plants do very well with chicken and my two year old loves eggs but here is your lesson on poo.

WHY DO NOT CHOICE RECOME BACK PLD TIME

It should be MANDATORY that hog farms are indoors so they can capture the methane from the large football field size pools of pig crap which devastate the environment
-
Somebody save those poor pigs and send them to a pig sanctuary so they can live the rest of their lives in dignity and good health. Completely unnecessary and wrong. Greedy, ignorant, cruel humans.....

None of what is portrayed here is necessary or beneficial.

Same thing can be done with human shit on an industrial scale. add salt to the water to boost the elecrolysis/hydrolysis method. California is experiencing record droughts again and could distill ocean water or waste water to recycle water more than is currently being done. There's more than enough energy in recycling human waste to afford pumping and distilling local ocean water into state aquifers and save the farmers of central California from desertification.

Honestly, we do not know if this man is a conservative or not, and who are we to judge him?? He clearly stated he was a Capitalist.... meaning, that if you live in the U. S. you are trying anyway possible to make money and you will do whatever to survive. The more difficult the economy, the more aggressive the tactic used to make the cash. I consider myself a neutral leftist, and yes, a Capitalist, but I would not choose a slaughterhouse as my Avenue of decent into the annals of this bankrupt nations' economy. Capitalism is a Romantic Arena for our culture.

I have learned this from my relatives many years ago. They use the gas for cooking.

@itsasin, yea it's true.. If you eat it.

Is it true that the poop can't be used for fertilizer because it contains toxic amounts of antibiotics?
Where does the poop go when it's done making methane? -
Why do all these conservative guys seem to think taking care of the enviroment is bad? He doesn't want to be a "greenie"? Sure champ drink poisoned water and raise you animals in a flood zone.
