Description

In an increasingly energy-short world, self-sufficiency is more than just a good idea. In Fiji pig manure is used to produce methane gas, and to fire one's morning breakfast. A family using the digestor processor will buy no cooking fuel, saving six hundred dollars a year. It can be used to run small motors. The supply is inexhaustible, as pigs roam freely throughout the country leaving fuel supplies all over.
