This is just absolutely amazing! Apparently Jean Pain had figured out ways to harvest methane, heat his water and get plenty of dirt for food from a compost heap (which is just your waste) back in the 70's. So why aren't humans doing this collectively and living smarter not harder? Jean was able to heat water to 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit) at a rate of 4 liters a minute which he used for washing and heating. He also distilled enough methane to run an electricity generator, cooking elements, and power his truck.
Some sites on the matter and how to do it yourself; of course your going to need to be creative, but we are human after all and should be able to manage.
