This is a brilliant talk on a subject no one wants to think about but a subject that is critical to our future none the less. How can we possibly create a sustainable society when we ignore such a phenomenal resource. More than ignore it, we allow it to be the cause of major pollution problems throughout the world. Congratulations Nick for having the wherewithal to highlight this issue in a calm, rational and reasonable way. We have a long way to go but the discussion has to start somewhere!
Nick,....you're an educated and appreciated speaker for sure.....you along with men like Jeoff Lawton will be changing the world. Nick's delivery of information uses a combination of 'fact, excellent voice inflection and' living the story...
That was really informative and inspiring, thank you! Much of the battle will be people's ignorance or social stigma, but some will be local or national regulations, which both need to change, clearly. With global warming causing real havoc and fossil fuel usage in industrial agriculture practices causing more pollution than all of transport globally, there's never been a better time for humans to consider what on earth, literally, they are doing with their own output. I'll be adding collected urine from the bathroom to my garden and compost heap from now on. It's a start!
I am duly impressed that a 12 year old is getting rich off his Justin Bieber whack-a-mole game app. His Ted Talk is at 7.9 million views. Of course, a Ted Talk that describes one of the most important solutions to our future food production on this planet is of interest to a small fraction of viewers.
iAm Khan learn about infectious disease and compost toilets. I am not suggesting putting human faeces directly onto food crops. news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/02/140202-peecycling-urine-human-waste-compost-fertilizer/
