Your Home, Now Heated Through Sweet, Sweet Bunny Lovin'

As Fall slides through Michigan, bringing with it colder days and spectacular displays of colored leaves, some of us are forced to consider the impending Winter, and the heating bills that it will bring. Of course, in addition to the cost comes the consideration of the environmental impact of whatever method of heating that we each choose. My household uses natural gas, the cleanest of all fossil fuels (which is like saying that Jack the Ripper was the most charming of mass murderers, but I digress), so I don't feel too guilty. Still, there are those out there that are truly thinking beyond the rest of us.

For example, there's a town in Sweden burning bunnies.



Apparently, in response to the mass of rabbits eating up their public park foliage, Stockholm acted with extreme prejudice, resulting in a sizable pile of ex-rabbits. Instead of simply burying the bunnies (or having the biggest hossenfeffer cook off ever), someone had the bright idea of using their furry little carcasses as fuel to heat homes. Apparently, the body fat of a bunny has similar properties to heating oil. While I find the idea slightly repugnant (one can only imagine a town that reeks of barbecued bunny), you have to admire their inventiveness.

In fact, I'm thinking given rabbits natural habits, we're a case of Viagra and a carrot farm away from an endless supply of heat. Investors looking to get in on the ground floor of this can email me for more information.
