\nDespite living in a city blighted with grinding poverty and surrounded by trash, he is firm on his intent to live a sustainable life. And this includes producing alternative energy<\/a> to avoid pollution by fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

He built his own biodigester, which turns food scraps to produce biogas. With the copper collected from old toy motors he has built a solar panel, which he installed on the roof of his building.<\/p>\n

He learnt his solar power skills from an American organization called Solar Cities<\/a>, whose mission is to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153connect community catalyst and integrate technologies for industrial ecology systems”<\/p>\n
