NPR : As the world’s third largest producer of pistachios, Turkey has had to find ways to get rid of thousands of tons of leftover shells. Now the country proposes using its green waste to its advantage by turning the shells into biogas to power a new eco-city. Other green cities have been springing up around the world, each fueled by various renewable materials, including macadamia nuts in Australia and decaying garbage in Mexico. If the project is deemed feasible, construction on the new city would begin in the next two years.
