Sustainably Geeky
Ep 43 - Poop Happens
Human waste doesn't have to go to waste...in fact, it turns out it's quite useful! Advancements in wastewater treatment have allowed this endlessly renewable resource to be turned into biosolids, a fertilizer that helps capture carbon while adding nutrients to the soil. Industry experts Maile Lono-Batura (Director of Sustainable Biosolids Programs at the Water Environment Federation), Dr. Sally Brown (Research Professor at the University of Washington) and Chris Peot (Director of Resource Recovery at DC Water) discuss what biosolids are and how they can be used to help address the climate crisis.
