I can’t honestly say I’ve ever thought about repurposing my poop.. but clearly I’m missing out on some opportunities .

This is… pardon the pun… a little hard to swallow.

No worries, I’m not going to run out and buy this book and share excerpts. Even I have limits.

Poop fuel. The ultimate in recycling. And with the cost of heating oil today? Not a bad idea.

Brilliant. The name and the idea. And if you smear the walls of your house with urine and feces? I can almost guarantee it’s going to deflect the Mormons and those pesky political survey takers who are always knocking on your door.

They kept misspelling poop. It is spelled “f-e-r-t-i-l-i-z-e-r”, and always will be.

There is an old saw about Harry Truman coming in from the pasture and saying in front of Bess’s garden club that he had to spread manure out on the South 40. One of the garden ladies suggested to Bess that he use the word fertilizer. Bess replied: It took me 40 years just to get him to say manure ….

<– was once the proud owner of a '65 Fiat that ran on chicken poop. Conceivably, we could have run it on human poop. Unfortunately, we were ahead of our time, and the law didn't like us carrying inflatable bags of methane on top of the car. The bags were as big as the car, and we only got about 30 miles to a bag.

A laudable … if not practicable…. effort.

That’s impressive. Were the bags of methane under pressure or pulled in by the vacuum of the engine? Maybe something different? This whole thing makes my brain jump up and down.

… we were broke hippies, and compressing methane into high pressure cylinders was beyond our budget. We used a surplus aviation gasoline bladder that they used for ferrying aircraft long distances, so I don’t think there was more than 3 PSI pressure in the bag.
We simply ran a hose to the carburetor, and adjusted the carb.
We tied the bladder to the roof, and put a valve in to turn off the gas when we parked.
We made a methane digester from the top of a storage tank, but the construction of that is a bit longer than I am willing to post here …

Philly is using its poop to monitor Covid. While the practice helps monitor surges in infections, the problem has been turn-around time because they had to send samples to Michigan. Also, the samples occasionally got lost in the mail, causing gaps in the data. At this point, they are trying to get a more local facility to send the samples to before the shit hits the fan.

Since you won’t buy it I’ll see if Cathy can order a copy for the library. Think of it as “Everybody Poops” for messed up… er… grown ups. Excellent post. When you go there you take the rocket sled.

I heard a Cornell professor give a talk on recycling and one of the things he said was “In nature waste is food.” And that’s fine for, well, flies and dung beetles but there need to be several dozen, at least, links in the food chain before I’m comfortable getting back what I once got rid of.

You might change your mind when you’re going hungry. We’re currently getting fertiliser from phosphate ore/rock – which is fast running out globally (we also get it from fossil fuels – but that’s another traumatising story). The plant can only take up about 20% of the phosphate (from ore) and the rest of it enters water bodies via runoff – causing eutrophication / hypoxic dead zones. Poop is the best fertiliser there is because it provides the plants with food, and also conditions the soil – I say this because global soil degradation is an issue too – we need our little soil people to survive too, and they need healthy food, which is poop.
