Return The Nutrients



The Fuzz saw this on NPR.
Thought it was worth passing on.

Should We Return The Nutrients In Our Pee Back To The Farm?


"A small group of environmentalists in Vermont... ...Instead of flushing their pee down the drain, they're collecting it with special toilets that separate No. 1 and No. 2."

"Then they're pooling the urine... and eventually giving it to a farmer, who's putting it on her hay fields in place of synthetic fertilizer." 

 "...it's foolish and wasteful to part with the precious nitrogen and phosphorus that moves from the food we eat right through us — especially when farmers have to buy fertilizer at great expense to put those very same nutrients back into the soil."

Makes sense to The Fuzz.

It Can Be Done.

The Fuzz thinks this is interesting.
If they could do it, couldn't the rest of us?
"Germany gets 50 percent of its electricity from solar for the first time"
"...now for the first time ever, that country has succeeded at generating over 50 percent of a day's electricity from solar. On Monday June 9th, which was a national holiday in Germany, solar power production peaked at 23.1 GW, which equaled 50.6 percent of total electricity demand."
"Germany’s successful solar strategy has been to encourage individuals to install them on rooftops rather than building huge solar farms. 90 percent of solar panels in Germany are located on individuals’ roofs."

Of course it won't be easy, but the potential is here.
Or will we keep wasting of energy fighting over it.
