About this Blog

I spent the last year blogging HERE about what has gone WRONG in politics and society, with the hope of waking people up and mobilize to really change things for the better. Since that didn't work, I have decided to spend this year blogging about what has gone RIGHT in the world, in hopes of inspiring more of the same.

Peepoople

In the U.S. we are so accustomed to having access to modern toilets and port-a-potties and even outhouses that we tend to take them for granted and don't give even a first thought to whether human waste disposal may be a problem in other parts of the world.

Besides, who wants to think much about pee and poop?

Well, it is a problem elsewhere. In fact, there are as many as 2.5 million people today who lack access to toilets and basic sanitation (See HERE)

And, fortunately, a group of people have thought long and hard about pee and poop, and have devised an ingenious solution:

Their innovation not only provide effective sanitation, but it also enables safe use of human waste as fertilizer.
