Reader's Choice Environmental Book
Written by a humanure composting practitioner
and organic gardener with over 30 years experience, this
third edition provides detailed scientific information
on how humanure can be hygienically recycled, without fancy
technological do-dads, a large bank account, toxic chemicals,
or environmental pollution.
This unique handbook provides information
on composting, soil fertility and microorganisms, alternative
graywater systems and much more. It also gives detailed
instructions on how you can build or buy your own humanure toilet and compost
bins for only a few dollars.
Defecating in our drinking water is
perhaps one of our culture's most curious, but least talked
about, habits. This book gives compelling and detailed
testimony as to why humanure should be constructively recycled:
- to prevent water pollution: (almost
4 trillion gallons of sewage effluent are dumped into our
coastal waterways each year);
- to fertilize the soil: (rich
in soil nutrients, humanure can be safely recycled by thermophilic
composting);
- to protect our dwindling drinking
water supplies: (nearly 1/3 of all household
drinking water is used to flush toilets); and
- to enhance our health: Fertile
soil not only grows
great veggies, but nourishes our health and community's
well-being.
