  1. RE: flipboard.com/@bbcnews/science

    I can't stress enough how important it is to close the nutrient cycle and utilize human excrements as fertilizers. We would save so much resources and energy while decreasing the environmental impact of our horribly expensive and inefficient sewage system and fertilizer production.

    Yes, there are challenges when using human excrements (mainly pathogens and pharmaceutics), but the hazards are mostly much lower than people think, and solvable.

  8. "When it was no longer tenable to discharge sewage at the cliff face..."

    "Last week, after torrential rain in Sydney, fresh poo balls washed up on the beach at Malabar, the closest beach to the problematic Malabar sewage treatment plant. In early April 2025, the EPA finally admitted the poo balls likely originated from Sydney Water’s land-based sewage treatment network."

    "The deepwater ocean outfalls were opened from 1990, mainly because they were the cheapest option when it was no longer tenable to discharge sewage at the cliff face. Funding a fix now will take political will – and some impressive engineering."

  15. Man's best friend - First eradicate the Neanderthals, then biodiversity

    Humans and their dogs drove our evolutionary cousins Neanderthals to extinction
    "Early dogs, bred from wolves, played a critical role in the modern human’s takeover of Europe 40,000 years ago when we vanquished the Neanderthal locals. The Neanderthals, who had lived there for more than 200,000 years. However, within a few thousand years of our arrival, they disappeared...Humans and hunting dogs were, and still are, a deadly combination." >>

  30. Raison de vivre
    Companion animals - a reason for living

    For many dog owners the companionship of dogs is often
    “literally the only reason to survive,
    to get up, to still keep going.
    It gives them a reason to get up,
    a reason to get out,
    a reason to move around and
    be in contact a little bit with the world outside."

  35. The environmental impacts of man’s best friend
    We give a free pass to dogs and their owners

    Study "highlighted the impacts of the world’s “commonest large carnivore” in killing and disturbing native wildlife, particularly shore birds."

    A "study of animals taken to the Australia Zoo wildlife hospital found that mortality was highest after dog attacks, which was the second most common reason for admission after car strikes."

    "The researchers attributed the extent of the environmental impacts to the sheer number of dogs globally, as well as “the lax or uninformed behaviour of dog owners. A lot of what we’re talking about can be ameliorated by owners’ behaviour... pointing out that low compliance with leash laws was a problem."

    “If nothing else, pick up your own dog shit."
