In theory yes, but only by being alive and having natural body functions. The waste would decompose anyway. Realistically, by collecting it in one place, it would be that much easier to capture the methane, which would then constitute a carbon-neutral process. The amounts we are talking about, however are probably too small to be economical.

Although you question prompts me to ask alaskamomma how far north she is and how much things have warmed up for her over the past decade or so?

Wouldn't a lot of it remain "un"-decomposed or take longer to decompose if it were frozen for good parts of the year or abandoned somewhere in less "congenial" conditions?

The project sounds great, by the way.

I'm eighty miles south of Fairbanks, and right now we're sitting at 50 degrees. Not much has changed in temperature ,as far as I can tell, and I've lived here for about 15 yrs...

I just found the article funny...
It's always good in my book, to use our waste if we can feasible do that..
The article just struck my funny bone...
I was thinking, I didn't realize we had so much *stuff* up here in Fairbanks, Alaska
