bilby "Is there a way to safely use shit as fertilizer instead? Some U.S. firms thought so when they began to market biosolids—the gunk that is left over after sewage has been treated. But in 1975 the chief of the Environmental Protection Agency's Technology Board of the Hazardous Waste Division reached a horror-film conclusion. Transforming waste into fertilizer is 'the most efficient means—short of eating the sludge—of injecting toxic substances directly into the human body.' Almost all European countries have now banned it."
