5:15 pm
have changed for you. come back in, charlotte off i 2nd penalty there are 280 and the fact that the race was suspended or not abandoned handed fresh happened the title? well, how can i say incredible force? chrysler who wanted to do it here in front of all the homeless people, all the japanese lands, fish mountain pains his 2nd straight formula. one title with 4 races remaining at safety, concerns overshadow his victory. and that's how we wrap it up. stay tuned for more news on the top of the hour. i am eddie micah genia. thanks for watching. i have been threatened to my have been better because we tried to to show 3, a face mafia all over the world. environmentalists are in danger. the enemy,
5:16 pm
ruthless corporations, corrupt government agencies, and criminal cartels. targeted environmentalists in danger starts october 29th on d. w. ah, we eat, we drink and whatever it went into our body, it comes out and we cannot speak about and makes no sense. poop, i should. i don't say perth, i don't say toilet oh excrement, because it doesn't help with some does until as a whoop. i want to talk to you today about toilets. 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 produce is more than 70 k of excrement per year and globally,
5:17 pm
that represents $550000000.00 tons of waste, which must be evacuated and treated excellent management world wide 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 gate to explore the world for his foundation, discovered that pope 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 will terrible. no,
5:18 pm
that's not the kind of toilet he's financing. in 2011 bill gates launched 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 things contained in the liquid. we produce more to come up if this new sanitation system, he actually consulted some friends and the next they came up with a if
5:19 pm
a system how he could look like, you know, and you know where you how to use chemical physical processes in your process. how to treat the ex credo and he actually sent this sketch, you know, this idea out if this invitation to participate and to reinvent the tar, the challenge. and he was extremely technological, you know, so i think sounds like super critical water oxidation or electrolysis. you know, this process really fit nicely in this picture. and this plan li ear wag institute is participating in bill gates is competition because for decades they have been a global reference in research on water and sanitation. they invent a lot of machines and systems to turn your in into fertilizer and this is that your in separating toilet se produced hello.
5:20 pm
this is the collection tank where we collect a urine from this building. this is the biological reactor where we stabilize the urine. in 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 over at the outset here, wag was going to call its fertilizer made from swiss student. you're in, you're 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, or in to be clear, the e o wag institute separate, you are in and fecal matter and collect students, you're in because number one,
5:21 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 our waste water treatment plant in paris, the wifi liberal port. here you see the sledge produced at our facility with that, with that pilot, today's worth. the slides will be carbonized, which will make it high generated, then we can spread it on agricultural field. so pipe will not have you got another one. thank you for the fact that 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
5:22 pm
did rich countries choose the flush toilet which uses so much water 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 was so filthy that the scientists of the day ended up wondering if the bad odors themselves were causing the epidemics. that was called the my asthma 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 of for the tide to turn this event to cold, the great stink was the spark, which launched
5:23 pm
a vast undertaking. the city was gutted to create a centralized sure 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 war. you didn't want to see any more disappear, disgust for fecal matter is a human constant and are super expensive and sophisticated system does all it can to evacuate excrement every day. we produce about ones over the off you're in and about 200 grams of why do you want to add another few gallons of water to make the problem bigger and then
5:24 pm
go and filter it out. it must be crazy when you're working on the toilet issue, you constantly hear about mister toilet. a business man in singapore who at the age of 40, realized that all 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 live in a come phone, which is like a slum village. and we do not have pilot 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 all the plans. and then the you put into a bucket. when the bucket truck comes to collect it and replace it with
5:25 pm
fresh new one, everybody wants to go to the pilot. but after a while is the pool of other people's and the different colors. and then you have the senate effects with the blood by the paper and the flies immediately come. and there it is. very, very disgusting and very disturbing mister 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 troops on every continent. over the last 10 years, the stars have aligned the u. n's sustainable development goals of put sanitation of 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, p o,
5:26 pm
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 hockey, junky, theocracy. yeah, not like don't ask, it's always good to have a different kind of actor in the development sector. awkward. someone who's able to challenge our own development practices. look more he was he got, there's a complimentary dynamic in that kind of approach. hope all pipe. he could develop on mush response gone the almost when was you do company will die. he was he no answer or suit not with the 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 i'm
5:27 pm
glad you did that. why? we bought them a lot of that by letting you buy banner. yeah, i remember the hey i indian prime minister la render a moody. i chose gand. is birthday to announce the launch of the biggest ever latrene building campaign? yes, all of them get in his speech. he said that a nation like india, which sends its own satellites into space, can no longer allow it to 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's 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. so doctor pat act created through lab
5:28 pm
international which wants to put an end to a tradition that lasted thousands of years in india. the one which involves leaving the handling of booked to the untouchable cast away our child. i just, i go through it and for that matter, my then mother forced me to swallow foul dun and to drink. gout yodi in the ancient sacred decks 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. a living up in rochester, i picked up peoples fecal matter leakage when we were hungry or thirsty people gave
5:29 pm
us water or left over food on it, but without ever touching us. so wasn't 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 little ledger. there has never been any other option for us given all of the food that would have gone a lot of li company. if we had tried to sell vegetables on the no one would have bought them in get they can look some of the vehicles go we later was the garden. i don't about that himself. a member of the very high brahman cast decided to go against his own class interests. and to break with tradition, i study my study. oh,
5:30 pm
a new daily his organization hosts a school for children of untouchables. everything is devoted to showing that excrement has value that it can be used to make gas for cooking. for lighting, for feeding plant speaker, dr. paddock wants to convince his fellow citizens that toilets are desirable space and that you should have one at home rather than defecating outdoors. he has even created a toilet museum for business, which generates the money for doctor pat. tax organisation is public paid toilets. thousands of which are spread all over india employing more than 35000 people. he's 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,
5:31 pm
dr. paddock inspired prime minister in the rend remoting. a campaign is called swash by that, which means clean india mission. for it emblem it uses gand is little round glasses been nodded out and given up, it's an unprecedented construction effort. tens of millions of rudimentary dry toilets are being built all over india, not at all, but it's also a massive communications campaign. giovanna will be on the prime minister, was filmed, sweeping streets and inaugurating toilets. she 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 into. i see kiki dodge melbourne idea. age of i. what i got to meet on
5:32 pm
the batch on the alondo law of mon by became the face of toilets. whether yup. oh. so jello bought a bottle, touchable. it's about converting a nation to defeat, catering in a hole, and i bought a dog before daughter bobby martin, bob taylor, and 5 years later on october, the 2nd 2019 on gand is a 100 and 55th birthday, marin dra moody once again addressed his people and the world, he announced that no one deviated outside any more. god, my god got on there. i big avo. dilate his theory that done. john, i got or said doug, i saw donna minima. yes, we've got busy. i don't read the the united nations, the n jose bill gates. everyone pretended to believe that so as not to upset the
5:33 pm
world's biggest democracy. in india, the army 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 and to render mowdy chose to massively subsidize latrines which often went unused to this day in india paperless till deviating by the side of the road.
5:34 pm
ah, elsie on lackeys, are 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, i said we did some science together for the adventure lasted several years here . thank you. and i want you to press on that in 4 months. jim initiates researches traveled to collect fecal odors at the source in latrines in india, kenya, uganda and south africa. from this fitted around 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,
5:35 pm
which generally designs the essences of our luxury perfumes has been assigned to the flu via of feces. no war 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, 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 men and belgium. marino sasha, in a world mostly made up of male engineers and technicians, is an activist for this cause. long long they say hello,
5:36 pm
have access to toilets and hygiene for women is definitely the central issue in this conversation. said february yeah, for some women it might mean getting up very early on before the rest of the family . i want to go and relieve themselves in the field next to their house or village or waiting to go late at night. why don't? why let's what her dollars are marleni, sand peak that's dangerous. now security l, they say we know it is lead and still leads to sexual violence, may yet one problem, but also to feminine hygiene. problems. infections do look was now that's why solutions like the bosses are really great because they have diapers, stations are yet information about aids, information about how to use feminine hygiene products through assistance and support for women and their personal hygiene. poly fan, don't you get none of that out in a field? genuinely fam, no, no, he n batson and nor can you wash your hands and when
5:37 pm
a sample of and as we have all learned in recent months, believe that can create major health problems that premium found. it was wasa, kaylee, gore problem, difficulty 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, my challenge was to prepare for the new certificate. and as you know, the project 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
5:38 pm
we started to realize that just bringing water to families was causing another problem, a public health problem, because then there was creating 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 or the helm. the municipality of durbin 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 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 durban. 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
5:39 pm
coming to see you and you can't tell anybody. i thought it was going to be bill gates, his father and up walked. bill gates had, i knew, you know, what he went to show me why you keep w vast off that that they did their exec data. and i said, well, you know, my, on such it was, i don't need your money, i need you interests. and we took him out, chris, back, they came with me and we showed him what we were doing and how partnership was evolving. and he went back and he started investing his annotation and the rest is 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 was technical
5:40 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, they're 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 were things that we had to deal with on the ground and figure out how to, how to solve. and, and ultimately, you know, just 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 are 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 bringing in a new technology or you're able to maintain it. are you able to operate at?
5:41 pm
do you have the necessary manpower to do it? 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 water and sewer systems. bill gates is geeky side naturally. came out. the universities which work for m a developing chemical solutions reactors to destroy the bacteria and fecal matter. electrolysis based treatment was the toilets end up looking like spaceships as high as the last. she's the injected air,
5:42 pm
pushes the eco matter into the reactor. that's been the valve closes and the reaction occurs to it combustion. i don't detect this eco matter is then heated to between 40600 degrees celsius and look at about 300 bars of pressure by 500. i think originally, bill gates was thinking in this way. he thought, when he was young, a compute the feels silver rooms to be able only to compute a little bit of information. today, the computing power on our cell phone is able to do the job of very, very big i, b, m, compute the longer goal. therefore, he's believe when technology can be introduced, then everything becomes smaller and smaller. the only difference between the
5:43 pm
computer and this is that the compute is in bytes, and you can just keep on growing the bytes without growing the size. whereas the put in atoms, you cannot digitize. hope you will always physically has that though 100 gram every time. well, i brought a little exhibit here. ah, this is a container of human these, these are dana sent once in a speech i released mosquitoes. this we're going to keep them 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. rhoda virus particles 20000000000 she gallia yellow bacteria,
5:44 pm
and 800000 parasitic were makes which you've got 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 is a master of communications. he achieves 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 produce energy and fertilizers. 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 me and i turned in beijing,
5:45 pm
everything seemed to be going great. so universities were proudly presenting their 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
5:46 pm
knows home in 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 won't be able to contact i vic, we've completely lost touch with the side on proximity of our excrement lap hawkes . him. it did not come off at that juncture. we're screed. we flush on an old, disappears toward this, but it's gone. the i think the on the that 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 killers of a meat on that cow, and 3 tons of earthworms right there under its cache. yet, quad done the vet that there. it's the earth worms that are hard at work all over duke worms,
5:47 pm
all fire reactors. all the gaudy blue doctors won't be considered even that shape prevail, that their long intestine and newly more come the law even more so than us that just parked in a thin skin. somebody didn't put it cushion to pull their even better by reactors than we are. yolk act up and there was so much. so this fecal matter inhabited and colonized by mushrooms and earth worms in your becomes edible again for one fact the when you commit to eat what they excrete about that 4 times or 5 times it gap for sulfur filipe malaysia. new uses earth worms in his home, made toilets to kill bacteria and render the fecal matter harmless. he relieves himself in a tube to give his vegetables the good nutrients contained in his urine. oh, you might think that this professor, characterless of the restroom, this earthworm fanatic isn't
5:48 pm
a very serious person and that he's not going to. so the global toilet problem. ah, then phillipe invited us to follow him to geneva. ah, 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 welcome what you were, what do you envision origin at fur? there was just in your house. now it's for a 100 people. then for 300 fear and then la street. but she,
5:49 pm
by the buildings with 300 people would be pretty good on the, on the after that, the next in the neighborhood. you can do this in a whole neighborhood. if you look at these lovely earthworms, you'll see a nice big bunch of them are you? it's a big pool in the buildings, courtyard full of straw excrement and earth worms. 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 some 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 polymers,
5:50 pm
vehicle into carbon dioxide and water. through this affair just perform windows and all of the residual mineral souls are flushed out with the excess water grill of it . in fact, i've ethnic food is said legal. oh so you. so 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 cleanup 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 a bug which helps develop bacteria that consume residual sugars effectively. that's all easy to digest. i looked to see if i see luxury. no,
5:51 pm
he was coming up here at the 1st stage of waste water treatment. this involves removing the large waist that comes in from the sewers. what we find tree branches, sanitary wipes, all kinds of waste. it's vital that we remove it from the water before it gets treated here. at 1st, you focus on the p poop side of this story. i 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 like his critique, noisy or what is waste water is oki san gina. it's the water generated by our household activities, toilet water, the gray water from our daily activities activity you said you did, you could see it's also the water use for artist law and industrial purposes. so leaders wandered latina lastly, you know it's rainwater, which washes the air and the city and then flows into the collector. so it's all in
5:52 pm
that one or liquidity de la cruz's to some guy. you always have to print when you were at the activated sledge treatment stage. it removes nitrogen and phosphorus from the water. so to really didn't know how do we do it? again, we use nature. we cultivate the naturally occurring bacteria in the water. of course, in addition to theses waste water carries a whole bunch of chemical products called 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 marcel us in particular. no, it was you perfectly. what you were saying is quite right, your 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 to not what you are without
5:53 pm
a realizing it exceeded tish and to use many compound songs all mentally and multiple component. i'm and you did or didn't was moody culinary working pussy today. i get to clean the bathroom, go all stuck with a nasty as job in the house naked guns that total action vanish. try it, z. total action vanish, lifts off water stains, disinfect bleachers. he believes 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, leaving a problem the mic. hopefully, the problem is that micro pollutants are getting worse as human content vents, new compounds with on produces new compounds. without having studied the hom, they might do to human health of the environment and they look out back to the c b they for lot. so do men, april, so good. you can move on. we're creating an increasingly serious problem that result regard. not only of the synthetic compounds not removed and treatment plans
5:54 pm
also move or they also accumulate in places where we really don't want them to approve. oval sac humidity. i dissolved, well, we'll get bonded to kill tucker. at the outset of this toilet revolution stemmed 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 that the space or 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 and treatment systems. rather than putting in extensive, you know, piping etc, to, to take everything to a central place. it's much better to treat it as source. and if you can take that
5:55 pm
in and produce something useful out of it, that's, that's even better at the truth is that new toilets, new waste water treatment models also sold 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 fir onsite 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?
5:56 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's the water from the bathroom and from the kitchen. a lot, the toilet water, we connected 3. there are the easily to reuse it for toilet flush. we should do that, we should explore new options with 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. how soon are you are in contribute to the over 30 lies ation of the oceans to excessive al gay growth and to the us fixation of the sea. for all the way in which we manage our excrement isn't insignificant. it's
5:57 pm
the very heart of life. fecal 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. oberman who knew that had thought when we stopped giving back to the soil when we took out of it, because matt started living and sitting on it was too costly to return to the earth, things which should be returned to the earth 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 or 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
5:58 pm
