Green Discount for Select Voiceovers

I read the other day that a researcher at Iowa State University has figured out how to make fuel oil from cow manure. The manure is mixed with corn stalks and dried in large drums; the drying process costs little and produces little odor. The mixture is then thermochemically processed to yield charcoal and vapors that, on condensation, are oil. Manure is said to contain 12 to 18 gigajoules of energy per ton; one gigajoule will illuminate a 60-watt bulb for six months. You can read about this in ScienceDaily . I’ve written the Principal Investigator to ask the efficiency of the process of converting manure to bio-oil, since that key information was left out of the article.

It’s wonderful to see so much time and attention focussed on reducing waste, using waste, and finding alternative (and novel) energy sources. It’s about bloody time, you know? I’ve decided that I will offer a 20% discount on voiceovers to “green” companies. If you think your company qualifies, please let me know.
