The need to invest in alternative energy is fast becoming imperative as global warming increases on a daily basis.
Nations are encouraged to reduce their carbon footprints by investing heavily in these technologies no matter how rudimentary it is.
In okwudor village in Imo State, a young man has taken the bull by the horn, and has started investing heavily in this alternative energy by channelling the gas from Soakaway pits and laterines to be used in cooking.
He has done this so perfectly that, people are amazed with his technology.
No matter how rudimentary this might be, it has reduced the village and the state’s carbon footprint, less kerosene would be used, less trees to be felled for firewood and more money saved.
Quoting Tim Webb, the young man said;
“Shits can be useful!
“Next time you flush the toilet, you could be doing your bit for green energy. After being stored for 18 days, human waste will from today be returning to homes in the form of renewable gas.”
