Synopsis


Dont flush it down the loo! Save your pee and fertilize your garden! Because it is not recycled, our urine is wasted and pollutes the water system. Yet it could provide 50%-100% of the nutrients needed to grow our food. Use your pee to make a liquid manure: recycle, save water and energy, and prevent pollution, all at the same time! In the 19th century you could sell your urine for a penny a bucket or 1.5 pennies if you were a redhead. Early Romans used urine as mouthwash. In some cultures, urine is used to clean wounds and as a health tonic. Urine can be used in curing leather, and as a tattoo pigment. Discover the delights of the urine-diverting composting toilet, the activists urinal, and the urinal for women; find out about customs and rituals connected with urine, the science and technology of its use, and profiles of liquid gold at work all over the world in farms and gardens. Take to the fresh air when nature calls and fertilize your garden for free with Carol Steinfelds entertaining and fact-filled book!
