Composting toilets, from what I've seen are usually a sham. They cook the uhh, deposit, down to ash which is then technically a toxic waste... Composting, as I'm sure you know, happens out in the open with air and microbes involved. -Curt Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2005 07:17:57 -0800 (PST) From: Christopher McCann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Green Fuels Would Damage Environment, Critics To: Mercedes mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
you could make biogas and, with some fiddling, use it like propane in a gas engine. Biogas is very widespread on a small scale in India and China. Human feces has been used in China as a fertilizer for 4,000 years. Composting is better becuase it can kill pathogens if hot enough (and compost done right can get quite hot). Also, plenty of places sell "composting toilets" so you don't need a bucket. :-) And if you want crap -> diesel...mix it with the turkey guts in Carthage.

This freeze followed rain and all the locks froze on our cars. Problem is something must have snapped in the driver's side door lock of my son's 1988 190E. He said when he went to get in the lock it wouldn't work. It turns freely both ways and doesn't work. The lock does go up and down when the key is used on the passenger's side. Any suggestions........ Is there any part I should get before taking the panel off the door? Is the panel removal a difficult job. Any help would be greatly appreciated again!
