It's up to us to push them into place fast. I especially love the Butte event - neighborhoods in my home town of Mpls. used to do a similar community effort on Spring clean up - we didn't weigh it, though! Thanks for telling us about this, Jeannie. Tao Totally cool concept and another reminder that our answers are HERE and NOW. It’s up to us to push them into place fast.

I think you have to have a lot of poop, though, to do something worthwile. It takes a ton to heat a home for about 2 hours. Neat concept, though, huh? The town of Crested Butte, CO holds a poop fest every spring when the snow finally melts. The town collects all of the defrosted stuff & it's taken care of sustainably. It's weighed and recorded every year, and the whole day is a big party for the town. Amazing what a little shift in perspective can accomplish!
