Hi, my name's Betsy, the banana, and this is my life story.
I started off as a little banana, seeding on the ground until one day, I grow up and
get harvested and put onto your plate. Then I get eaten. And you put me in the food only
waste bin in the cafeteria. Notice how it's really small? that's for
important people like me to get in. Then, the nice lady took me in and brought me to
the most amazing place in the entire campus, the Biodigester. And then someone pours me
and my friend into the Biodigester sink. Where I'm mixed with water and then grind up into
a tube. The next thing I know?I go through the tube into the chamber of the Biodigester.
Once I'm in the chamber I meet my bacteria friends and they helped me by breaking down
my nutrients and turning me from a solid form into gas a liquid form. It's kind of like
the process that happens in your stomach. And then the more gas and liquid that me and
my other banana friends and bacteria creates, you'll see the big dome of the bucket continue
to rise. So how do you get these fuel? Well, there's two outlets: one for gas, and one
for liquid. My gas can be used as fuel for things like fire that you use to cook in your
kitchen. My liquid can be used as liquid fertilizers to grow other bananas like me in your garden.
And then what happens to those bananas? After, they get to visit the magical land of the
Biodigester, just like me. And we're not the only ones, all organic matter can party in
the Biodigester just like my friends, Mr.Tomato and Mr.Potato!
