LOOK: A Colorado business is the star of a charming story about gross piles of wasted food
Heartland Biogas is the proud owner of a biogas digester in northern Colorado. In the most awesome terms, that would be a giant machine that eats tons of food and belches out methane gas, a source of electricity.
This week the company is featured in a new video by The Perennial Plate, which is definitely worth four minutes.

Correction: This story earlier stated that A1 Organics owns the digester. In fact, A1 operates the digester, which is owned by Heartland Biogas.
