Waste

The Humanure Handbook is an excellent resource and a must have for home composting and waste systems.

Waste will become, and perhaps already is, our society’s greatest problem. Every year, we produce mountains and mountains of trash:- plastics, metals, paper products, tires, styrofoam, toxic chemicals, not to mention the sewage process… you name it, we dump it. And there’s so many of us. Sooner or later we are going to have to deal with it. But how?

We don’t know. If we did, we’d be Nobel Prize winners. We have found a few ways to take care of some of our own, and even other people’s, waste, through composting, recycling and reusing, if you want to check out our ideas. But that’s only scratching the surface. If you have any projects you’ve carried out using junk, or gotten things that would have been thrown out fixed, or if you have any advice at all on how we can deal with our own shit, please submit your idea to our Puro Yonke forum.
