Cambridge light powered by dog poop

The whole parking ticket thing is an absolute embarrassment. The "artist's" comments are even more bizarre and as a taxpayer I am stunned that one cent of my money went to this program.

I take trash out once very two weeks. Yes, one bag per 2 weeks. So much is recycled that little remains that can not be recycled (as far as I know). That includes the styrofoam plates used for selling fish, butter wrappers, and the little that to the best of my knowledge is still not recyclable. But the recycling bin does not include compostable food wastes.

Thanks to a compost pile those ingredients do not create a decaying stench in my trash can in the house. Instead they feed the lovely numerous worms and party happy bacteria in the compost pile.

Added is the fact that yard wastes no longer occupies paper bags that adds to the work of refuse workers. What grows at my home stays at my home (unless a neighbor needs some of the richest compost to be found).

By owning a dog however I still am disposing plenty of dog dung every day. A methane powered lamp on my walking rounds would be an inevitable stop on my rounds. It would convert what was waste material into useful matter which illuminates an area which otherwise is lighted by tax dollars paid to the electric company.

Bring on the poop-lights!
