BP Oil Spill

The BP oil spill was big and bad and messy.  BP tried to contain the oil spewing from the center of the earth by putting this big ol' metal dome over top of it but it didn't work.  The dome was like 70 million tons or something like that and had a tube on the top so that they could still get the oil and make money but not as much of a mess.  If I remember correctly, the dome cracked and therefore they wasted a buttload of money on top of the money that they were losing into the ocean and on the beaches and everywhere else.

Testing My Water

After testing my drinking water, the results have shown that my tap water has nothing in it.

Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter

I'm doing a project.
Can you take a guess what it's about?

I'll give you a hint, it had nothing to do with I Set My Friends on Fire.  (Thanks Travis.)

I am researching Slaughterhouses and the Meat Packing Industry.
And by I, I mean Taylor and I...mainly Taylor though.
      And by Taylor, I mean the other Taylor, the Shipley one because I stopped talking about my self in third person FOUR minutes ago.

Anyway, we're telling you all the stuff about Slaughterhouses and how the like to whip little chicks like it's their hair.

 Just like that.

     They also kick cows in the face and hit them with brooms. 
Why would they do such things?
                                           I dunno.  Maybe it's to tenderize the meat.

Um, there's some other stuff in our presentation, like facts and statistics but you'll have to see our presentation though.
                                                 





YOU SHOULD IGNORE THE LACK OF ACTUAL BRAIN CONTENT IN THIS POST AND THINK ABOUT THIS...

Doodie Saves

...what?
     So, there's this guy-Steve Reinford- and he uses his cows' fecal matter to save him money.  Well, it costed him about a million bucks but that was three years ago and he's happy with the work this machine has been doing.
     What is this machine, you ask?  Well, IT'S CALLED AN ANAEROBIC DIGESTOR.
And what does this digester thing do, exactly?  It turns cow poopie into energy. 

     What makes this really awesome, other than the fact that his name is Steve like the guy from Blue's Clues, is that instead of paying an electric company money every month, they send him a check.

     I don't know about you guys but I'm thinking about becoming a dairy farmer. 

I'm getting off topic again, sorry.

     So this digester machine takes all the bacteria and turns it into methane which can be used as energy.  Then the machine leaves the farmer (Steve) with liquid poo and he can use this liquid-y poo to fertilize his land.  It also leaves him with some solid something that he can use for the cows' bedding and stuff.

     Some people doubt this poo power but even Chesapeake Bay Commission Executive Director Ann Swanson says it works. 
    
"The longer we look at it, the more it is going to make sense," she said. "When you look at the different types of energy, some of them, like wind, are non-polluting. However, none of them, other than this one, reduces pollution. And that is pretty amazing."

So yeah, doodie saves the environment, money, lives, friendships, marriages, and polar bears.
