Eco Factor: Methane digester generates energy from animal waste.

The Park Spark Project is the brainchild of designer Matthew Mazzotta, who wants your dog to provide power to the very park when he just pooped in. The system needs you to collect the poop in a biodegradable plastic bag and throw it in the Park Spark Methane Digester.

The project is a simple passive system that uses the heat and light of burning the methane generated from dog waste itself to power public art works. The digester works using the natural process of anaerobic decomposition, where organic matter is sealed in an air-tight container to produce methane.
