REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Generation Watch a Video about Methane DigestersWhat does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for such vision to become reality?
Jacob Page 4/23/2019 1:14 PMRachel's video and discussion on methane digesters in the UK was very interesting. It was cool to know Gresham and likely Portland both have outlets for their commercial compost in a local methane digester facility. -
