Next!

I never said it wasn't a good idea. Just that someone was taking old technology, adapting it to the situation and trying to make money from the third world with it. Which is a damned good idea and I hope it improves these people's lives.

I'd always heard that human waste was one of the best fertilizers to use.

This invention wouldn't necessarily be limited to third world countries, because anyone that is into gardening and keeping a nice lawn would probably be interested, too. If combined with a gray water (from washing machine, sinks, bathtubs) system, where you re-route it to your lawn, it could make quite a dent in a home owner's yard maintenance costs,

besides the saving of our aquifers.

Hope this dude gets Big Time RICH!!!

There is so much human waste buried on some mountains that it's not safe to hike there after August 1st. They make you pack out your own shit.

And if folks were truly concerned about the health and economy of the third world, they's GIVE them the technology to do this for themselves instead of CHARGING them for a plastic bag full of powdered fungi (which is all this is, a natural fungus that consumes e.coli bacteria making the feces safe for use as fertilizer).
