Is the Irish wildlife is an untapped resource for making Ireland more green?

When we think of a environment sustainability, we always think about renewable energy. Wind power, the sun, the sea etc.. I really feel like we could do more than that by tapping into our natural wildlife. Why can't we use wild animals to help us obtain our environmental objectives?

For example:

Netted fish in farms could be used to create currents and electricity

Breed deer that will roam on a kinetic floor that generates electricity

Train wild birds to eat cigarette butts and other small rubbish (Lots of interesting work done on training crows:

If we expand our thinking, there's definitely an opportunity to make the country greener

Smart birds can do lunch deliveries.

No need to disrupt the natural behaviour of our native wildlife. Just wire up all the hamster wheels in the country to generators.

Plenty of cattle available for your kinetic floor.

This is bizzare even for AH.

Why would anyone want wild birds to eat cigarettes butts? Maybe train people to put them in the bin or bring them home? Anyone caught littering gets a meaningful fine regardless of means and mandatory litter picking as a punishment.

The rest is just as weird tbh.

I strongly suspect none of it was serious. As to the motive for the thread…who knows as it's neither humour nor satire.

Ah, I should have had at look at some of the OP's previous discussions.

I don't mind the negativity, people thought Elon Musk was crazy when he came up with the battery

Jim_Hodge

Generate electricity for disabled dog with wagging tail technology. Store powe in battery cells under K-9 wheelchair to power motor & lights. Surpluse green power sold back to the farmer to charge battery hens.

Maybe we should set up a center for kids that can't read good too.

Here is an idea we could train humans to not drop their rubbish without a thought into the environment.
