Nepalese farmers go organic with human waste http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1370456353
Jeevan Maharjan has a different approach to human waste -- he considers it as wealth.
Rather than flush it down the toilet, the 47-year-old Nepalese farmer collects it to spray on his crops.
"It's three times better than chemical fertilizers," he said .... The urine and feces are stored in separate airtight compartments of the toilet, he said, for later use on the land. The urine is kept for about two weeks before it is used, while the feces, which is turned into manure, is used every six months.
