Journalist's Question about the People

For sustainability efforts to be considered viable they need to pass the "triple bottom line test".

The triple bottom line means that a project can demonstrate benefits that are social, environmental and financial.

We believe that biogas projects can easily satisfy these criteria.

Social:

Yes, it is safe.

Since this is a commercial system that has been deployed in many countries and tested for years for safety in people's homes and gardens and schools, it has the CE rating and government approvals for safety standards in Israel and the US.

HomeBiogas has a team dedicated to answering questions for new users, so we don't have to try and reinvent anything; the system is just new to the US so people are unfamiliar with it.

The problem?

Simple ignorance. Unfamiliarity. Fear. Laziness.  Aversion to working with 'wastes'.  Information assymetry. Myths, disinformation, risk aversion, a Zeitgeist of apathy, disbelief, defeatism, lack of trust, lack of experimentation, systemic patron-client discouragement, bad public policy, lack of incentives, withholding of key information motivated by a desire for profit and personal gain. All psychological, none technological or material.
