The Toronto Zoo has recently stated that the poop produced daily could power a New Toronto Biogas Facility or maybe just feed that hungry little guy pictured above. They stated that the poop from over 5,000 animals that they have in their zoo could easily cover the costs of their new Biogas to Power Facility. But it doesn’t stop their though because not only will it power the zoo but thousands of the surrounding households.

The city councilor Glenn de Baeremaeker stated that “It’s clean, green energy, pollution-free energy, and we hope we might actually be able to make a little bit of money out of it as well,” but even with the promised return on power they have an outstanding dept that will most likely make it so they are not approved for this. They won’t stop their though because they are now looking for an outside private financier in hoped of beginning construction by next year. via ct
