For me, one of the more important aspects of recycling human waste is that we
are polluting our rivers, lakes and seashores with something that we should
return to the land that it came from. Admittedly, agricultural waste may
play a larger role in water pollution than human waste, but why put into
rivers, oceans and septic systems, good potential fertilizer and then use
fossil fuels (natural gas for Nitrogen) to replace them? Why expend energy
to mine and ship potash and phosphorus when they are available from this
other source? It completes a cycle, a natural cycle that increased the
fertility of the soil for millions of years.
I agree that one must be cautious - there are diseases transmitted
through human waste. But there are ways - primarily composting - of
destroying them.
To those of you who say "that's a lot of shit!" I agree, it's a huge
amount. But we need to begin somewhere.
