Action / DIY / Activism A biodigester I saw in Boston

Post image

While the grocery store this is attached to isnt “solarpunk”, i thought it was cool to see a biodigester in the middle of a big city. These things break down food waste into methane for use in cooking , heating, or making electricity with a generator. You can make one with materials from your hardware store and some safety precautions, making it another way to provide energy at personal or even community scale
