Hello Everyone and Welcome! I can’t believe how fast time flies, it’s my turn already to host this week’s Carnival, as we leave last week’s wonderful host Green Fertility! Well, make yourselves comfortable and stay a while, there’s lots to…

No, they don't "burn dung," per se on an individual-type basis, nor do they collect it and sell tickets to watch it being burned. :-)Essentially, take a farm where there are several thousand animals, all of which, like you and me, poop. Well, when you have several thousand animals, that's a lot of poop! Most farmers build a "lagoon" where this poop flows into. Companies, one or two anyway, put big parachute-type vinyl over these lagoons. These "parachutes," called biodigesters, blow up like a balloon as gas is emitted from the large collection of poop (like the steam coming from a pile of warm dung). As these biodigesters blow up (fill with gas), there are "pipes" that are open and lit, thereby burning the carbon and/or methane that is captured. This burning of these emissions creates tonnes of emission reductions (they are emission reductions because that gas would have been released into the atmosphere instead of burned off). These reductions, once they reach a certain amount, are certified by the United Nations (the legal panel responsible for the Kyoto Protocol). Once certified, these reductions can be sold on the open market. Another great benefit to this process is that the burning process can be utilized using pipes, to turn motors that generate power, thereby allowing a farm to produce free electricity to use throughout the farm. The real question I have is why this isn't happening everywhere instead of in just countries that produce, in the big scheme of things, less emissions than the larger countries. This is a simple process and if you ask me, farmers should be held accountable financially for NOT participating. It’s really pretty basic what companies like AgCert do.

Methane (CH4) is about 10x as bad for the environment as carbon dioxide (CO2). If you can prove you reduced methane emissions you can sell that to someone who wants to increase methane emissions under the european emissions trading scheme. Also keep in mind that methane (CH4) + R2D2 (R2D2) results in RJD2 (RJD2) the hip hop producer from Columbus, Ohio (Hence his nickname "the smelly robot"). Everything should be clear now.

Do people pay to watch or something? Or to have their own dung burned? I didn’t read the article, but how exactly does burning dung generate revenue? Do people pay to watch or something?
