Part 6:  Necessary Components for Community Sustainability

Sanitation and Waste Disposal

Obviously, humanity has always had the problem of knowing what to do with its waste. The interesting thing about human waste is that it is not the waste itself that is the greatest danger; it is the biological contagions contained in it that are the great threat. If those contagions find their way into the water supply, you have death and destruction. The second and more recent difficulty with human waste is that if you take it and do not return it back to the land, it becomes the primary cause of the demineralization of soils.

Unbeknownst to most Americans today, the technologies to recycle human waste are well established. We can, through the proper use of bacterial systems, break it down into benign material that can then be returned to the farms. And, in fact, San Diego does just this, unbeknownst to most of its populace. The waste is eventually returned to farms found throughout the county.

Put in the simplest of terms, we must close the cycle between food and human waste. Essential ingredients especially the trace elements must be returned to the soil. To ensure that it is done correctly, motors and pumps are needed to power the transformation of our waste products to fertilizers so that our process of eating foods does not demineralize our soils.
