Peruvian farmers produce more than 400 pounds of guinea pig poop into a form of combustible gas, that has a liquid byproduct plant food called anaerobic digestion. this allows Peruvian farmers to make enough gas to power themselves, plus a little bit extra. Currently, dairy farms in wisconsin use this process to make enough electricity to power 70 homes and sell this power back to the utilities companies.
The new United Nations monitoring system that measures Deforestation and forest Degradation [UN's Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) squad] uses satellite mapping, airborne-laser technology, and ground-based plot surveys to track carbon locked up in tropical forest vegetation in Peru.
