8:15 pm
and child after the attack to for turning his weapon upon himself. and russian missiles struck residential buildings in southern ukrainian city of jeffery. here, the governor of the region mostly occupied by russian troops as at least 3 people were killed in the dorm strikes and several others were in good. and with that, you are up to date, a documentary series coming up next looks at the great toilet battle. stay tuned for that if he can, i'm and he gives me kevin, thanks for watching. the w. niko is in germany to learn german pollution pinnacle. why not learn with him online,
8:16 pm
on your mobile and free the chef for c w e learning course, nickos big. ah, we eat where drink and whatever it what into our body it comes out and we cannot speak about in makes no salad, alicia, i don't say pip, i don't say toilet or excrement because it doesn't help with sun doesn't blow as a whoop. i want to talk to you today about toilet. we're not allowed to say, and that's part of the problem in we refused the words because we refused the reality. on average, a human produces more than 70 kilos of excrement per year. globally,
8:17 pm
it represents 550000000 tons of ways to which must be evacuated and treated excellent management worldwide poses a sanitation, an ecological challenge, which we almost never talk about. and yet, you probably don't know that we are experiencing a huge toilet revolution. 10 years ago mil gay to explore the world for his foundation is government. poop kills. according to the world health organization, half the world's population doesn't have safe toilets. nearly 700000000 human beings deviate outside. the problem is that poor sanitation causes diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis a and typhoid, it kills nearly $400000.00 children each year. bill gates thought he could fix that by inventing a new kind of toilet for these countries. they well, terrible. no, that's not the kind of toilet is financing. in 2011 bill gates launched
8:18 pm
a major international competition called reinvent the toilet. the toilet of the future must be able to remove all the harmful pathogens from human waste and recover resources like energy, clean water, and nutrients. they must also work without a network without running water and almost without electricity. to see these toilets financed by gates, we went to switzerland to a kind of harvard for p. a university which specializes in separating fecal matter and you are in toilets in order to better recover all the good thing was contained in the liquid. we produce more to come up with this new sanitation system. he actually consulted some friends and then make sure they came up with for if a system how we could look like, you know,
8:19 pm
and you know where you how to use chemical physical processes in your process. how to treat the excreta and he actually sent this sketch, you know, this idea out if this invitation to participate in the reinvent the tar, the challenge and it was extremely technological, you know, so i think sounds like super critical border oxidation or electrolysis. you know this process really fit nicely in this picture. this plan the ear wag institute is participating in bill gates is competition because for decades they have been a global reference in the research on water and sanitation. they invent a lot of machines and systems to turn your in into fertilizer and this is your in separating toilet se produced by law.
8:20 pm
this is the collection tank where we collect a urine from this building. this is the biological reactor, where we stabilize the urine. this column pharmaceuticals are removed, if activated, carbon after pharmaceutical removal. the urine is stored here and later brought to the distiller or concentration. this is the final fertilizer product of him. at the outset here wag was going to call its fertilizer made from swiss students. you are in your, in an in house communications manager suggested they switched the letters to draw inspiration from the latin word for gold instead. that's why they chose orin. to be clear, the ear wagons that you would separate you are in and fecal matter and collects the students you're in because number one,
8:21 pm
it's easier to treat our waste when it's separated. number 2, most of the nutrients are concentrated in the urine and most of the bacteriological bombs, the ones that kill children, are concentrated in the feces. one afternoon we found ourselves that one of the biggest factories in the world, the sin of, i'll waste water treatment plant in paris. why should it? we'll put here. you see the sledge produced at our facility, but that will, that pilot, today's worth. the slides will be carbonized which will make it hygienic. then we can spread it on agricultural field. so bipolar, have you got another note that the vancleav people like bill gates want to invent almost to dry toilets? which separate urine and fecal matter always brings us back to one question. why did rich countries choose the flush toilet which uses so much water?
8:22 pm
and a central sewer system terminating at a waste water treatment plant until the mid 19th century in major european cities, the most common customers to empty your bucket out of the window. the streets were so filthy that the scientists of the day ended up wondering if the bed owed, as themselves were causing the epidemics. that was called the miasma theory. who in $1858.00 london was sweltering and the level of the thames where all the excrement was dumped was at its lowest. the stench was so strong that the members of parliament feared they'd fall ill. it took powerful people smelling the odor for the tide to turn this event cold, the great stink was the spark, which launched a vast undertaking. the city was gutted to create
8:23 pm
a centralized shoe. a system. thousands of kilometers were dug at the same time in several major cities like in paris, which had nearly 3000 kilometers of sewer pipes. the same period saw the invention of the flush toilet the height of efficiency when it came to making what you didn't want to see any more disappear. discussed for fecal matter is a human constant. and our super expensive and sophisticated system does all it can to evacuate excrement every day. we produce about one overly of urine and about $200.00 grand off. why do you want to add another few gallons of water to make the problem bigger and then go and filter it out. it must be crazy. when you're working on the toilet issue.
8:24 pm
you constantly hear about mr. toilet a business man in singapore who at the age of 40 realize that or he had done was accumulate money based on the life expectancy of a singapore young man. he calculated how many days he had left to live and decided to devote them to a single cause, the revolution of sanitary facilities. so when i was 3 or 4 years old, we lived in a come phone, which is like love village. and we do not have violet in our own house. the toilet is in the row of hot with british bucket system. so you go up a few steps and you are squatting on the blank. and then you put into a bucket. when the bucket truck comes to collect it and replace it with fresh new one, everybody wants to go to the pilot. but after
8:25 pm
a while is the full of other people's and the different colors. and then you have any pets with the bloods violet paper. and the flies immediately come and there it is. very, very disgusting and very disturbing mr. toilet, but all his weight behind the battle against sanitation inequality. he wanted the whole world to take on the issue. he found in the world toilet organization through which he talks about hoops on every continent. over the last 10 years, the stars have aligned the u. n's, sustainable development goals of put sanitation and the center of global concerns. for n g o's, for the people who always worked in development, it's a toilet moment they feared, would never come. a furnace from billiards, rational c,
8:26 pm
p o. the bill gates foundation founded several studies and research labs in the field of sanitation. to try to gather more data on this subject. yeah. i wasn't remotely shocked to see someone outside the field showing interest. walk it junky piano that i see. yeah. not like, don't ask, it's always good to have a different kind of actor in the development sector up with someone who's able to challenge our own development practices. look more here with yeah, there's a complimentary dynamic in that kind of approach. pope or he could develop on mush response gone the almost when was you do complement i he was he no don't suit or suit and also to push all development experts will tell you for decades, rich countries have been digging dry toilets in poor countries to bury waste and they have a very hard time convincing states that it's a vital public health issue. all that was true until october, the 2nd 2014 apollo
8:27 pm
gallery give it. so we bought them a lot of it that by letting about by now. yeah, that, that, but on a monthly hey, i indian prime minister lorenzo moody. i chose gand his birthday to announce the launch of the biggest ever latrine building campaign towards them. in his speech, he said that a nation like india, which sends its own satellites into space, can no longer allow its people to relieve themselves outside. the figures are stark at the time of the 900000000 people in the world who had no sanitary facilities. 40 percent were indian that not only due to the vastness of the country or its lack of infrastructure. the high prevalence of outdoor deification in india is also due to a cultural problem. some dr. pat act created through lab
8:28 pm
international which wants to put an end or tradition that's lasted thousands of years in india. the one which involves leaving the handling of booked to the untouchable cost. well our child, i just, i go through it and for that matter my then mother forced me to swallow cow dung and to drink gout, eugene. the ancient sacred tex of hinduism required a man to difficult and arrows flight from his home. and if there was unfortunately, excrement very close to your home, it was considered absolutely unclean to take care of it. so the untouchables went from house to house to pick up your feces. the elevator in rochester, i picked up peoples fecal matter liquids. when we were hungry or thirsty people
8:29 pm
gave us water or left over food upon it, but without ever touching her. so i sent the little, they tossed some coins at our feet. we really suffered that we couldn't do anything else. pick to that. it's what we've always done. generation after generation, i got a legible there has never been any other option for us given all of the food that would have gone a lot, a lot of a new if we had tried to sell vegetables on the no one would have bought them this year. you get, they can look some of the vehicle go, we later the gun doctor himself, a member of the very high brahman cast, decided to go against his own class interests. and to break with tradition, my steady winds, meaning my steady oh,
8:30 pm
a new daily, his organization hosts a school for children of untouchables. everything is devoted to showing the excrement has value that it can be used to make gas for cooking. for lighting, for feeding plants. dr. patrick wants to convince his fellow citizens that toilets are desirable space and that you should have one at home rather than deviating outdoors. he has even created a toilet museum for business, which generates the money for dr. paddock. organization is public paid toilets. thousands of which are spread all over india employing more than 35000 people. his even creating the taj mahal of public urinals. all this so that the hindu culture of hating excrement no longer hinders toilet adoption. in this matter,
8:31 pm
dr. paddock inspired prime minister therein promoting a campaign is called swash by that. which means clean india mission for an emblem it uses gand is little round glasses been not at all given up. it's an unprecedented construction effort. tens of millions of rudimentary dry toilets are being built all over india, not at up. and it's also a massive communications campaign. giovanna will be on a prime minister, was filmed, sweeping streets and inaugurating toiletry. if you change nothing, nothing will change. a bollywood movie was even made about a woman who doesn't want to marry her fiance. if he doesn't have home latrines as you're going to do, i say key killer dodger melba. nadia agent. right. what i got to him. i me tell the batch on the island a lot of mom by became the face of toilets,
8:32 pm
brother. yup. oh. so jill about what a lot of touch up, what it's about converting a nation to defeat, catering in a whole lot about adobe full davonte, bobby martin, bob taylor, and 5 years later on october, the 2nd 2019 on gand is a 150 his birthday marin dra moody once again addressed his people and the world. he announced that no one deviated outside any more. god, my god. oh i big i do. oh, do i live in that? done. yon ok, good job. i saw darma minima. yes, gotta the united nations, the jews, bill gates, everyone pretended to believe that so as not to upset the world's biggest democracy
8:33 pm
in india, their promise and the delivery are not the same day of the 110000000 pilot. it is anybody guess whether it is 50000000 or 30000000, or 80000000. we do not know. i think the only thing we can know is that the low bang has promised to distribute $2000000000.00 to india. if they can prove that the pilot is been use and today i think there has still not yet distribute the 2000000000 dollar re what to serve his own political agenda . in their end, remote, he chose to massively subsidize latrines which often went unused to this day in india, people are still deviating by the side of the road. ah,
8:34 pm
they all said on back is that we embarked on this adventure with the gates foundation to discover the code of bad odors to see what we could do to find a scientific solution for 1st time toilet uses in china. india and other places. yeah, yeah. i see, so we did some science together for the adventure lasted several years. a john to present that in 4 months german issues researchers traveled to collect fecal odors at the source in latrines in india, kenya, uganda and south africa. from this fitted round the world trip and they brought back the conviction that beyond climatic and food specificities, there was a combination of 5 compounds which cleverly balanced could reproduce the exact odo of excrement. yes, this precious nose, which generally designs the essences of our luxury perfumes has been assigned to
8:35 pm
the flu via of feces. no war and taste and smell a tied to emotions. so could we bring positive emotions to the poorest among us, who lack access to toilets. but sadly dre the technique produced a powder to throw in the bowl, a spray and a hanging air freshener, and is already sold in several african and asian countries. it was tested in india in the city of pone. where a start up is developing a new toilet bus model exclusively for women. that's a fundamental aspect revealed by this toilet revolution. lack of access, sanitation has a much greater impact on women than on men and belgium. marino swisher, in a world mostly made up of male engineers and technicians, is an activist for this cause. long day hello, have access to toilets and hygiene for women is definitely the central issue in
8:36 pm
this conversation said this, it says it. yeah. for some women, it might mean getting up very early, and before the rest of the family, i want to plan to go and relieve themselves in the field next to their house or village, or waiting to go late at night or for wildlife. what her dollars, family sound peak that's dangerous, snowflake. anything else they say? we know it is lead and still leads to sexual violence may yet more problem, but also to feminine hygiene problems. infections do look was now that's why solutions like the bosses of really great because they have diapers, stations are yet information about aids, information about how to use feminine hygiene products, assistance and support for women and their personal hygiene. poly fan, don't you get none of that out in a field and you won't be fam. no, no. he and batson, and nor can you wash your hands and when a sampling model. and as we have all learned in recent months by lima,
8:37 pm
that can create major health problems that prima mando, pintos, wasa kailey gold pub. in lisel day with durban, a south african city with 4000000 inhabitants by the indian ocean, is playing a crucial role in the ongoing toilet revolution. because of the endemic drought in south africa. but also more surprisingly, because of the end of apartheid, martinez was to prepare for the new south africa. and as united parties, you had, you had a central city which was mainly what people surrounded by a sea of poverty, which was mainly african people. many of whom had no services from 1996 until 2000 . it was easy to motivate for money for water because that was the big issue. but we started to realize that just bringing water to families was causing another
8:38 pm
problem and public health problems. because then there was crating sewage and the sewage was just running through the houses and causing problems. and then in, in 2002 we had a color outbreak and that changed everything. suddenly the politicians said, we need sanitation with neil mccloud at the helm. the municipality of durban has become a pioneer in the separation of urine and fecal matter to save water. it's also testing alternative solutions to the western flush, the toilet and waterborne sewage system. a research group at the university of choir zulu natal is neal macleods experimental branch dead. naturally one day bill gates came across neil mccloud, his pollution research group, and the crazy sanitation history of durbin. and we got that phone call in december 2000 and nod please be at the hilton at 6 o'clock in the morning the somebody coming to see you. and you can tell anybody at i thought it was going to be bill
8:39 pm
gates his father. and. busy abduct bill gates had a new you know what you want to show me? why you keep your deposit off that they did the rug sector. and i said, well, you know, balance which it was, i don't need your money. i need your interests. and we took him out, chris back, they came with me and we showed him what we were doing. and our partnership was evolving and he went back and he started investing his annotation and the rest was history. i mean, he started the reinvent the toilet challenge and we became the engineering field test center. yeah. for all the work and that's continued on as, as we've made all the advances. so when the reinvent the toilet competition was launched by the bill and melinda gates foundation, durban, and it's hundreds of shanty towns were chosen to test the competing toilets designed by chinese american and swiss universities. there were technical
8:40 pm
challenges, but there was socio logical ones too. among the 10 systems tested in the shanty towns of durban, a chinese company had a spectacular failure. in china, you don't through the toilet paper in the bow. in south africa, you do very quickly, their brand new system broke down in dublin and it took days to get it back in service. we had a lot of sledge build up. so those are things that we had to deal with on the ground and figure out how to, how to solve and, and ultimately, you know, it sort of came to realization that the way that the process was design just wasn't applicable to south africa. yeah, that is one of the challenges when bringing in a system from another country and bringing it into a developing country where the municipalities generally did not have the skills or the capacity to maintain and operate the systems. say yeah, it is something that has to be looked at when you're bringing in a new technology. are you able to maintain it? are you able to operate at? do you have the necessary manpower to do it?
8:41 pm
ah, hello. i'm bill gates, chairman of microsoft. in this video, you're going to see the future. bill gates has a major technological bent. you can't really reproach him for that back. is that bent, which has made him one of the richest men in the world from selling computer operating systems to most of us windows environment? when he decided to reinvent the toilet, said that it could be used even in countries without waterborne sewer systems. bill gates, his geeky side, naturally, came out the universities which worked for him, a developing chemical solutions reactors to destroy the bacteria in fecal matter, electrolysis based treatment walls, their toilets and ob, looking like spaceships as high as the loft. she's done, the injected air pushes the fecal matter into the reactor eyes and the,
8:42 pm
the aqua has been the valve closes on and the reaction occurs. they act through it combustion and if we had no m, the term, the fecal matter is then heated to between 40600 degrees celsius and look at about 300 bars of pressure. the fell by wound up bar. i think originally, bill gates were thinking in this way, he thought, when he was young, a computer, the feels at silver rooms, they'll be able only to compute a little bit of information today. their computing power on our cell phone is able to do the job of very, very big ibm compute the longer goals. therefore, his belief is when technology can be introduced, then everything becomes smaller and smaller. the only difference between the
8:43 pm
computer and this is that the computer is in bytes, and you can just keep on growing the bytes without growing the size. whereas the pool is in apple. you cannot digitize hope. you will always physically has that 200 gram. every time, well i brought a little exhibit here. ah, this is a container of human theses. i dana sent once in a speech i released mosquitoes. this we're going to keep in the char ah, ah, but in i think even though it's very stark. ah, it's good to be reminded. ah, dead inside there could be over 200000000, brought a virus particles 20000000000 she gallia gallop bacteria. in 800000 parasitic were makes which you got
8:44 pm
a little animation in november 2018. when bill gates placed a jar full of fecal matter on the podium at his conference at the re invented toilet expo in beijing, the billionaire prove that he's a master of communications. he achieved the unthinkable putting toilets on the global agenda. he also successfully imposed a new narrative that excrement can be profitable if it's at the heart of new industries which produced energy and fertilizes. the toilet board coalition was built on the dream of being able to transform poor people's pope into money. one of the main ideas behind the toilet board coalition is that the collection of fecal matter in poor countries will be enough to create sufficient energy, like bio gas or electricity to finance the whole sanitation system. to become tighter in beijing, everything seemed to be going great. the universities were proudly presenting their
8:45 pm
new toilet solutions in your and bill gates announced that the technology that his foundation had financed are ready to be adopted by the market. here. our goal is to create a, a multi $1000000000.00 business opportunity. all that at some point is getting by without any sort of philanthropic grant money. that it really just a balls are into companies competing to buy the best product using these new paradigm. 3 years later, in a world in which we are questioning our development models, priorities have changed. the high per technological solutions advocated by bill gates are having a hard time finding a foothold in the real world. they're probably too costly and they don't challenge all waste management. it was an afternoon like any other biologist. felipe malaysia knows home in
8:46 pm
a village in the swiss alpine foothills. there he's testing experimental toilet models which use nature, particularly earthworms, for fecal matter treatment solutions. on that compet might be able to contact i, vic, we've completely lost touch with the side on proximity of our excrement lap. hooks him, it did the nordics come off at the object here, we excrete it. we flush an all disappears toward this, but it's gone through. i think the on the thing. we don't know what happens to it or not, but there are no risks. was no odors good of what? when you see a feel was big enough to feed a cow throughout the year. i mean, there's $500.00 killers of meat on that cow and 3 tons of earthworms right there under its feet. josh? yeah, quad done the vet that there. it's the earth worms that are hard at work all over duke worms. i'll fire reactors. all the gaudy blue doctors don't we consider even
8:47 pm
the shape prevail? 3rd, their long intestine and newly more come they lovin more so than us that just parked in a thin skin embody didn't, but it could to put their even better by reactors than we are. yolk act up and then the so much so this fecal matter inhabited and colonized by mushrooms and earthworms in your, becomes edible again, for words i could've in your commit to eat what they excrete about that 4 times or 5 times it gap or for. so for phillip malaysia, new uses earthworms in his home, made toilets to kill bacteria and render the fecal matter harmless. eat relieves himself in a tube to give his vegetables the good nutrients contained in his urine. oh, you might think that this professor calculus of the restroom, this earthworm fanatic isn't a very serious person and that he's not going to. so the global toilet problem.
8:48 pm
ah, then phillipe invited us to follow him to geneva. this is a building in the heart of the city it's residence, decided to develop a more ecological sanitation system which could re inject waste water into a very low volume flush toilets. so they called felipe him of asia, new who rounded up his worms it will come with you. well, what do you envision origin that per, it was just in your house. now it's for a 100 people then for 300, if you let and then law street. but she, by the owens with 300 people, would be pretty good on the, on the after that, the next thing,
8:49 pm
the neighborhood you can do this in a whole neighborhood for bob with you look at these lovely earthworms, you'll see a nice big bunch of them are you up? it's a big pool in the buildings, courtyard full of straw excrement and earthworms. a giant filter which makes it possible to treat organic matter and even a lot of chemicals. the earth worms eat, eliminate, and re ingest everything dangerous, purifying it the combust can then safely be used to fertilize the gardens. it doesn't smell bad at most. there's a slight smell of humus wafting in the pit. oh, if it doesn't, mcdonald there is maintenance, right. if it's in a city, don't you have to take some of that out from time to time, which is the level not just the with no, everything is transformed off of it. oh, here we have the decomposition of all component was the whole, the sugar polymer clinical into carbon dioxide and water through this affair is
8:50 pm
perform windows and all of the residual mineral silver are flushed out with the excess water grill of it. in fact, i've ethnic food, it said legal. oh so you feel when you see this hyper modern building in central geneva? it's 38 dwellings. it's a $140.00 residence. you'd never imagine that there are millions of worms on clean up duty in the courtyard. that's good, said the hotel goal is to get water. that's clean isn't what comes out of the treatment plant or at least it's clean but cleaner? if possible, it's not hard to achieve because water from treatment grants isn't very clean. that's all depends on the thought pep up. it's that he counted on rapidly digested through, injecting oxygen get hbo. ch helps develop bacteria that consume residual sugars effectively. that's all easy to digest. i looked to see if i see luxury or we're at the 1st stage of waste water treatment. this involves removing the large waste that
8:51 pm
comes in from the sewers. if we find tree branches, sanitary wipes, all kinds of waste. it's vital. we remove it from the water before it gets treated at 1st, you focus on the p. poop side of this story. a venue realize that it's about something else entirely. this sanitation revolution challenges our entire waste management system because all sorts of things end up in our treatment plants. joke is critic, noisy or what is waste water is oki san gina. it's the water generated by our household activities. sun toilet water, lee gray water from our daily activities activity you said you could, you could see it's also the water use for artist law and industrial purposes. so leaders wandered lottie center. lastly, you know it's rain water which washes the air and the city and then flows into the collectors. it's all and that was one or liquidity,
8:52 pm
or cruises to some value that it had to print when you were at the activated sledge treatment stage. it removes nitrogen and phosphorus from the water, sorta it, oh, how do we do it again? we use nature. we cultivate the naturally occurring bacteria in the water. of course, in addition to feces, waste water carries a whole bunch of chemical product, school, micro pollutants and they're much harder to treat any hopeful your cool about. we are on the micro pollutants in our sledge. and this is the problem which if they come from many different sources and acquisition or sell us in particular, nor would you perfectly what you were saying is quite right or scuba when we go about our business. so last, when we're washing the dishes or washing her hair, when we'd our garden remove moss from our roof, et cetera, we're not, we're not, none of those activities lead us in a 20 without a realizing it exceeded fish and to use many compound songs all mentally and
8:53 pm
multiple component i'm and you did or didn't, was moody, culinary working, pussy. can i get the clean the bathroom all stuck with a nasty job in the house naked guns that total action vanish? try it. see total action vanish, lifts off, water stains, disinfect, bleaches even leaves. it's true that for decades we were encouraged to throw as many chemicals as possible into our toilet bows, to eradicate the slightest bacterium jobs right under the rim and leaving the problem. the me, capone of the problem is that micro pollutants are getting worse as human kind invent new compounds. when i'm produces new compounds without having studied the hom, they might do to human health of the environment and they look back on the see me. they for lot so do men, april says to love you can move on. we're creating an increasingly serious problem . don't regard. not only of these synthetic compounds not removed in treatment plans and also move this or they also accumulate in places where we really don't
8:54 pm
want them to approve oval sac remotely. i dissolved waldrook rapidly to kill tucker . at the outset of this toilet revolution, stems from the idea that we have to give sanitary facilities to those who don't yet have any. it's also about giving developing countries, small treatment plans to avoid investing colossal sums for waterborne sewage systems. and giant treatment plans. especially in south africa where yeah, we don't have the space. so our, i think that, you know, the facilities to put in more big large, you know, central waste water treatment works. and it makes more sense economically and also environmentally to have on site sanitation treatment or decentralized treatment systems. rather than putting in extensive, you know, piping et cetera, to, to take everything to a central place, it's much better to treat it as source. and if you can take that and, and produce something useful out of it, that's,
8:55 pm
that's even better at the truth is that new toilets, new waste water treatment models also solve our 1st world problems. decentralization treatment in each neighborhood or each residence could enable us to better control what we release into nature. and maybe it would make us more responsible i really believe that the for on site treatment, the centralized treatment, we can really improve the overall sanitation says i, there will always be a place for centralized systems, definitely, but not for every location. so we, we can also, we also have to rethink the water use. so now we have to water supply and it's, it's such a big achievement that we have fresh water drinking water supply by pipes. but do we really need drinking water for toilet flushing? and do we really need 50 lettuce per person per day for tight flushing?
8:56 pm
we don't need that. so we can, we can actually recycle water. so in large buildings, we can treat the gray water so that the water from the bathroom and from the kitchen will not the toilet water reconnection 3, there are the easily to reuse it for toilet flush. we should do that, we should explore new options. mm hm. so it's not just about the little boys or little girls room for the last 10 years. this broad, re think of the way in which we manage our most basic waste is a definite point of no return around the world. the vast majority of waste water, more than 80 percent goes untreated, our stool, our urine contribute to the over 30 lies ation of the oceans to excessive al gay growth until this fixation of the sea floor. the way in which we manage our excrement isn't insignificant. it's the very heart of life fecal
8:57 pm
matter and urine have always fed the ground which feeds us back when fear of disease in cities lead us to banish our waste. as far away as possible, we replaced natural fertilizers with chemical fertilizers, oma moon, who knew that had thought when we dr. giving back to the soil one, we took out of it because i started living in cities. and it was too costly to return to the earth things which should be returned to the f one that we created. instability helped us on the keyboard, but we might not all end up with earth worms at home to eat our excrement. this idea that faces should return to the ground that we can't content ourselves with getting rid of these substances without transforming them. and re integrating them into the life cycle. will certainly be the foundation for the launch of the upcoming toilet revolution. that doesn't go as
