Reality, ahhh not fun to have to deal with.
I feel much responsibility needs to be taken with each and every person.
Too many rely on the actions of few (farmers). If everyone would just use the waste EVERYONE produces, to sustain each and every persons consumption, we would be in a good place. But lets get back to reality because we all acknowledge laziness is a large majority of the BIG problem. People do not want to be responsible for their actions, or even remotely educate themselves on common sense with sustainability, much respect to the ones THAT DO! I agree with the recycling of nutrients, why be wasteful?? Nature (and the One that created it) has provided us all we need. It is time now to educate and learn from all mistakes we have made.
I find much solution in aspects of compost and vermicompost teas. Its an ability to take a small proportion of a waste product and stretch it by 100's of times, all the same time unlocking many of the wonders of nature locked up in the soil. Its amazing how waste can turn into something so valuable with just a small amount of work and commitment. My one concern with the use of sewage is the amount of pharmaceuticals and other nasty nasty things our bodies excrete as waste. But beyond that, we are all humans, no need to be scared of some poo. .
BTW, its FRIDAY!
