Harebrained, brilliant, or somewhere in between, here are seven radical solutions suggested recently
to address common problems in the U.S. and around the world:
PROBLEM: Too much productive dog waste going to, well, waste
SOLUTION: Turn the poop abundant at dog parks into energy that lights street lamps. The Arizona
Republic (via The Consumerist) reports that Arizona State students hope to design a “dog waste
digester” and install it a popular dog park. After cleaning up after their dogs, owners would place
poop-filled biodegradable bags into the digester and turn a hand crank. The machine converts the
waste into methane gas, which would be the energy source for park lamps.
