Waste to Energy for Earth Day

This is a sponsored post. Please see my disclosure

Earth Day is turning 40! April 22, 2010 will mark the 40th time that the US will celebrate Earth Day. For as long as I can remember the Earth Day mantra has been: "Reduce, reuse, recycle." In grade school, that meant reusing soda bottles as bird feeders, but now I know that things are being reused on a much grander scale.

People have been looking for sorces of alternative energy since before the recent hike in oil prices. Remember the car that ran on chicken waste? Waste to energy is not a new concept, the guys at http://www.nviro.com have been doing it since 1993. They turn sludgy wastewater to energy via a complex process that lets them do tons of it all at once. The result is renewable energy! People aren't going to stop making waste, after all.

The N-Viro process allows them to make different types of products. not only can they can make top soil for agricultural purposes. They can make opportunity fuels, clean coal, alternative energy, and more. They take organic waste, which I am pretty sure means doody, and they transform it into something useable and beneficial.

Waste to energy is not widely used, but it seems to me that it has a great opportunity to be an afforable alternative energy sorce compared to fossil fuels. Its a renewable energy and so I hope that means that it would lead to lower energy costs.

I'm glad that I could write this post in regards to something that I didn't even knew existed. These kinds of clean coal and renewable energy sources are just the kind of thing that are gaining a lot of popularity these days. It seems like everyone wants to help do their part to go green and alternative energy is a great way to do that.
