Yuck, totally. I would never, ever, ever want sewage sludge from a processing plant on my food. Like the article said, people pour paint, prescriptions, motor oil and more contaminants into their drains.

So, we've already got contaminants from CAFOs leaking antibiotic resistant eColi into the food supply, lets add more junk! Your neighbors birth control pills anyone? :/ There are none so blind as those who will not see.

I believe the converter that MS State has been working on will be the widespread answer eventually. Converting sewage sludge to bio-fuel through a biological action, that's just smart.

I'm not sure how their system treats/avoids the contaminants in sewage. They did run a set of lights on campus for several months using only the bio-fuel & a generator.

Noobie you just killed me on that sentence big time! UGH---I mean really now...HAHAHA

well that is what I am saying....move like the bear. Poop in different locations.

I think the military dug latrines. Maybe check into how the military digs in and handles their waste. Hmm....might check into that..LOL

oh yes keep it out of the water definitely. Barb (dairy farm owner) had to fence off all her creeks a long time back...cause cows swim and poop. Yup, regulation says no cows near open water. Oh well....
Slit trenches sometimes. Dig a longish, narrow slot. Start at one end. Each time you go- cover your stuff with some dirt till the section is getting shallow then move forward till your slot has been used up. Dig new slot in another spot.
