Dezeen Wire: design critic Justin McGuirk says that a kitchen concept by Dutch electrical company Philips that uses decomposition to generate methane gas for cooking is an example of how we may “have to get more comfortable with bacteria and with putrefaction’s role in our ecosystem” – The Guardian
