vue - The taboo secret to better health | Molly Winter
Our poop and pee have superpowers, but for the most part we don't harness them.

I don't know guys, I'm still thinking of whether everyone's poo and pee is usable for raisin great plants, lawn, etc. If someone is infected, sick seriously, have tons of medicines, is it safe to use their feces an urine too? Nature can nutralize them or are they still dangerous? I really don't know...

she is hot

Yeah, let's bring back parasites. What an amazing idea.
-
Her lisp adds attractiveness to her

good leg:body ratio

Whoohoo! Finally! Someone speaking potty wisdom.

As much as I don't like this, I support it. #fortheplanet

I'm guessing the Egyptian government saw this video

Many people will immediately poo-poo this concept.

She mentions all the hormones and other medical residues in human manure. Then she wants to dump that on our fields as fertilizer. Not a good Idea. In fact, here in Germany, since a few years, farmers are not allowed anymore to use treatment plant sludge as fertilizers and we burn it.
One other thing: water recycling is probably a good idea in places where water is scarce. The actually environmentally sustainable thing however would be to not have millions of people living in deserts like Arizona. But that is a different discussion. Anyway, in places with plenty of water, water recycling in residential buildings is just a huge waste of energy. I had construction plans on my desk a few weeks ago, where instead of one sewage pump for back flow protection of the lower levels they had seven (!) pumps for using grey water and rain water. Madness. -
this is fantastic.. nature friendly idea
-
that lisp though.
-
But If we excrete all those drugs from our system how would we refine it out of the fertilizer? Or would we just consume it...

its really hard to watch a woman on a stage dan with some sign says BEND...
-
totally agree !
-
I'm wondering how old is she. Gorgeous...
-
I can talk about a better world in my head, making a video about it just seems a waste of energy. 100 years ago this was just blah blah and 100 years in the future it will be blah blah still.

Hey Molly Winter... You're cute!
Oh and way to go with your contribution to the planet. :) -
Great talk! I'm well and truly convinced! She's also super cute too.

Well where I live in Providence, RI they within the last few years found a different solution to combined sewer overflow or CSO. They drilled a tunnel 300 feet under the city, that's 26 feet in diameter and 3 miles long. It stores everything. And then processes it.
