[Digestion] SunLight inside Digester

[Paul Harris]

G'day All,

The other thing to consider is that if there are chloroplasts/chlorophyl 
in the digester the sunlight will generate oxygen, which will inhibit 
digestion and possibly lead to an explosive atmosphere. Also plastic 
will be degraded by sunlight.

Life is full of compromises!
Happy digesting,

HOOROO
