As conscientious pet owners we all know that cleaning up after our dogs can be a dirty job. We love our dogs… so we take on that responsibility of keeping our yards, parks and sidewalks clean.
That being said, our dog’s waste CAN really be a source of heat and light. The first-ever Park Spark project was installed in Cambridge, Massachusetts., on Tudor Street, between Sidney Street and Brookline Street, a few blocks from MIT, on Massachusetts Avenue. This invention transforms dog waste into energy. That energy converted becomes methane, which can be piped into a gas-burning lamppost.
Here’s out it works:
First the dog owner drops a bag of dog waste into the Park Spark. Then the dog owner turns the manual hand-crank to stir the mixture inside and create the methane gas.
This invention is amazing and extremely beneficial to the environment. Gracie is on board with trying to get one down in the SouthCoast area. We have contacted the Park Spark Project to see how we can get involved!
