Thanks for that @princessperibanu ! I would have to agree with @stortebeker here on this one though... poop is fine, but everything else we put in ourselves or our sewers needs to be considered.

The difference with HUMANURE is that it doesn't need to come in contact with water, can be processed on site or at a proper facility and can avoid contamination from society's weird habits.
