waste to landfill” goal over the next 20 years. Dog poo and other hazardous waste is costing money to dispose of and more importantly - energy could be produced if this were collected and processed on a regular basis.
Tax for one tonne of landfill waste is said to be around £72 and it's estimated that the dog population of the UK produces 900 tonnes of faeces every day - much of that goes to landfill! Plus, long term increasing energy prices from
fossil fuels makes the economic argument of using waste to generate
energy, even stronger.
Would dog owners get behind this process of collecting and depositing dog waste to a central unit for the purposes of turning it into usable energy? If they could truly see the benefits of their actions - I think yes.
This is one of my main topics and I'll be barking about it - alot, so do join me. I speak human too!
