Rural Africans And Biogas For Home Use

This is actually a pretty cool idea. I only recently discovered this blog and I've already fallen in love with it. The blog's tag line says it all: "Solving everyday problems with African ingenuity."

The particular problem I've highlighted here, is about getting clean fuel to your home for cooking. Apparently, there are huge amounts of cow dung available in Africa that people can convert into clean burning methane gas.

Talk about killing several birds with one stone. They get clean burning fuel, get rid of dung, plus stop chopping down trees for firewood all in one fell swoop.

I think that there are parts of South America where some of this same ingenuity can be applied, or even better, I'm sure there are some South American fixes to problems that the Africans haven't figured out, yet.

Someone should invent a tool that lets people communicate instantaneously. Something like a worldwide web of computers interconnected with each other so people can share ideas across oceans and communicate.

Wouldn't that be great?
