[5] Poop to Power
Cow farmers like Alliance Dairies are changing the game for environmentally friendly cattle raising. If you didn’t know, cows = very bad environmental problem. But Alliance Dairies are changing this – they recycle water and other components… but one of their biggest impacts is from creating their own energy to power 70% of their farm from their methane digester. So, they’re making use of the cow dung to not only reduce their methane emissions but to supply power at the same time.
