She’s not s–tting you.
One woman in England has found a way to save money by burning poop — and she can’t hold in her secret any longer.
Kelly Wheeler uses miniature horse feces to make bricks, which she then takes to fuel the stove at her work. In addition to using solar lights outside, Wheeler claims that she’s been able to save around $60 dollars per month on her energy bills, according to The Sun.
Wheeler, who runs an outdoor ropes course center, uses the poop of miniature Shetland Sketchley and American miniature horse Hugo to make the bricks. She said that once it’s all said and done, there’s abso-tootley no smell.
Wheeler has even used the energy from the bricks to cook her colleagues a full English breakfast.
“I cannot tell you how happy it makes me,” Wheeler told The Sun. “I love to reuse and recycle, and we stay warm in the office for free, and we can boil the kettle and cook on top. It’s amazing!”
In order to create the bricks, they use a high-powered briquet-making machine and then dry them out in a log shed, according to The Sun. The business can make about 50 bricks in one hour and burn through about 30 or 40 bricks in a single day.
Wheeler admitted that it can get a bit dirty when you are in the process of making the bricks, but that doesn’t matter much to her or her colleagues.
