Humanure or reutilizing your own body wastes

From Appropedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The book I want to introduce, written by Joseph Jenkins, is about a very down to earth subject, what do you do with your feces. Most of us on the West operate on the out of sight, out of mind system. It is wasted. You say it's a mere plop in the bucket. Excuse me, but over hundreds of years and untold trillions of ‘depositions', that just isn't true.

You can read 'The Humanure Handbook' online at the link below or you can buy a copy. If your community is not taking these important factors into consideration, you can hardly claim to be striving for sustainability, can you?
