The Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York is looking to become the first zoo in the nation to be powered by its own animal waste -
particularly the prodigious piles produced by its pachyderms.
The zoo - world prominent for its Asian elephant breeding program -
is studying how feasible it would be to switch to animal waste as an alternative energy source to reduce its $400,000 annual heating and electricity bill.
The zoo's six elephants produce more than 1,000 pounds of dung per day,
said Zoo Director Anne Baker.

This is very true, I use my family's dung to power my house's heating and electricity, have eliminated the toilet and have aluminum cans in every room for the waste material to be collected. I have even put some cans in my frontyard in hopes my neighbors will take a dump there.
