United Nations, March 2009 - Farming communities around the world are embracing alternative methods of obtaining energy that are more affordable and better for the environment. In China, a new programme is helping poor farmers convert animal and human waste into biogas, improving the lives of thousands of families while fighting global warming.

This is great. Tell your friends. In the park where I run my dog, people dutifully bag the dog faeces and put them in the garbage, to be trucked hundreds of miles to a landfill. Because dog faeces don't contain detergents, cosmetics, etc. like sewage, the methane from the muchtrucked bags could be used to fuel park vehicles.
Ordinary contaminated sewage is at least useful for capturing and using methane for burning, heat, hot water etc.
Pitch it to city council, folks!
