Disney World is one of the leaders in trying to be as green as possible. They have a massive recycling program; try to reduce their carbon foot print by being energy efficient, and now will be power all operations with a renewable energy – pig poop.
Inspired by the Mad Max movies, Imagineers have developed a power plant under the Magic Kingdom that will be run completely on methane provided by an underground pig farm.
“I’ll tell you, being green really stinks,” stated one of the Imagineers. “I’ve smelled some bad stuff over the years but this is near the top. It makes my eyes water.”
Not only will the pigs “expulsions” be used to fuel the parks, their “deposits” be used to fertilize the plants in the parks and the pigs will be used to fuel the cast members via a new program. The new program entitled “Bacon Buddies” will provide pork for free to cast members that enroll in the program.
“In this tough economy we think it’s a valuable benefit we can offer our cast members. We hardly pay most of them so at least we can help feed their families,” a Disney spokes person said.
The whole operation is expected to be up and running by the end of the year.
