Poo Bus


A Bio-Bus which runs entirely on gas generated by human and food waste has carried its first passengers.

The 40-seater has a range of up to 186 miles on one tank of gas, the equivalent of around five people's waste over a year.

It is being used to provide a shuttle service between Bristol Airport and Bath city centre.
Engineers believe Bio-Bus could provide a sustainable way of fueling public transport while improving urban air quality.




The gas, biomethane, produces fewer emissions than traditional diesel engines and is both renewable and sustainable.

This week, the company also became the first in the UK to inject gas generated from human and food waste into the national gas grid network.

The annual waste generated from one bus load of passengers would provide enough power for a return journey from Land's End to John O'Groats.

The Breast Milk Ice-cream



Local police officials said they have confiscated ice cream made with human breast milk from a shop in London.

The official said the ice cream, marketed as "Baby Gaga" and launched last week, is being tested with the full cooperation of The Icecreamists, the parlor marketing the dessert.

The company paid women who responded to an online ad to donate their breast milk and said all of its products meet the "highest and safest" of food standards.

The company said it has had a "huge response" to its "fresh take" on the world of ice cream. The Icecreamists said at the time that its "Baby Gaga" ice cream sold out as soon as it launched on Friday, but that women had signed up to donate more milk.
