Interesting!! I wonder how much poo is needed to power a light? Hmmmm.....

that is very interesting

seems like a great idea for being green....can't think of any downsides? unless people deposit more than just poop and turn the handle. I could see it being vandalized but other than that....seems relatively cheap setup for what good it does, so cool

Dont think so as after certain time all goes there should be cleaned of as compost.

so even if someone decides to drop in plastics or other things on a whim....it does get cleaned out eventually by a park worker so truly it a good situation. Unless someone throws in a match with a flame??
