From The Huffington Post -
2. A bus powered by human poop runs in the U.K.
Britain's first "poop bus," an effort towards sustainable transportation, went into regular service this past March. The 40-seat "Bio-Bus" runs solely on biomethane gas, which is generated through the treatment of sewage and food waste. The bus can travel up to 186 miles on one tank of gas, which is equivalent to the waste produced annually by five people, according to the BBC.
If the bus turns out to be successful, First West of England, which operates the bus, said it will consider introducing a fleet of "poo buses."
