Here's another pollution solution for the manure problem...
At the Green Schools Conference in Ojai last weekend, I listened as a farmer described his problem of lack of nitrogen in the soil.
I brought up the irony that while he can't get enough fertilizer, the river is suffering from excess nitrogen. This nutrient problem is partially due to all the horse manure in the valley.
Turns out there is already at least one small operation serving Ojai Valley School and another horse facility.
This seems like a great 'green business' opportunity for someone who is able to match the supply with the demand...
