#Resource-Efficiency

Anaerobic digestion is the industrial volunteerism that feeds oxygen-averse microbes with tedious waste and collects high-octane biogas in return under the guise of environmental stewardship. The microbes gorge on organic refuse as if plucking money-trees, and their labor is praised as electricity and fertilizer. Yet behind the scenes lurks the hell of massive plant costs, odors, and management. Everyone calls it “clean,” but in reality it is nothing more than a cleanup show for machines, personnel, and taxes. The noble banner of resource cycling often serves as masking tape to conceal the real stench and troubles.
