You mean Acid Rain won’t kill all our forests by the year 2000?

Next you’ll tell me that the Ozone Hole isn’t a threat anymore either? Or that high power lines don’t cause cancer after all? Or that microwave ovens are safe?.................... Gee, you’re unbelievable!

I bet you don’t sort your trash into ten different piles either?!?!?!?!

"I bet you don’t sort your trash into ten different piles either?!?!?!?!"

Am I supposed to do that? LoL! Not a chance. Anything that burns goes into the wood stove, even plastic bottles, They throw off a lot of heat for a while, especially when you get a good blob of plastic going. Sure, it's not very good for the chimney pipes, but I clean them regularly, so creosote build up isn't a worry.

Anything I'm a bit leary about burning goes into the outside burning barrel. I have very little garbage to take to the garbage pit, maybe a couple bags worth every 2 months or so. In the summer, organic waste goes into the compost pit.

I'm thinking of building a very large organic waste pit to make a methane gas generator that will run a gas stove, and maybe, even a small gas furnace/space heater. I've seen a few good designs that some people claim work pretty good for them as long as you have enough "stuff" to toss into them. If you don't have farm animals, you can bail up some green hay in the fall and use that all winter to feed the digester.
