At least not here in the Philippines, as I mentioned in my post. If you look at the article I linked to, you’ll see that the waste grub in the UK is of much, much higher quality (almost new). I’d still be hesitant to use it, but I can see why Boyle saw it as an option.

well using waste grub really is not an option at all.

You’re right – Biogas digesters sound practical, especially in rural areas. Not sure about the manure of cats and dogs, since mataas yata dapat yung Nitrogen content ng manure na kailangan. Well, maybe if your dogs are vegetarian… hehehe.

Here in Marikina, there are still vacant lots for the odd forager to find malunggay and talbos. But I imagine in 5 years it’ll be much harder. You’re right in pointing out the difficulties of doing this in urban areas.

If only we have a Biogas digester in our own home. Big commercial livestock farms certainly convert “waste into gold” by using the waste of an animal (normally from a pig or chicken) and use it as energy. Biogas can be used as a low-cost fuel in any country for any heating purpose, such as cooking.

I don’t know if we can use the manure of our pets like dogs and cats but hey it’s worth a try isn’t it….

Great article Celine! While reading it, I can’t help reminisce growing up in the province and smile when you said “malunggay” and “talbos ng kamote” because I used to grow them myself. I also experienced picking up tree branches and trunks but not to use as furniture or decor, but as a wood fire to cook food.

Unfortunately, I don’t think you can do the same when you’re living in a crowded city like metro manila. I can’t imagine buying a land in Makati just to have it planted with kamote. =)
