#israel #palestine : #westbank / #water / #settler / #attrition / #impunity / #agriculture / #sanitation / #hygiene
„The seizure of the spring at Fasayil is part of a #pattern that Palestinians say is designed to make their lives in the West Bank untenable. Israeli settlers have attacked at least 160 water and sanitation sites across the Palestinian territory this year, United Nations data shows.“

#israel #palestine : #gaza / #opt / #humanrights / #water
„Most of the population across the occupied Palestinian territory lacks sufficient access to water, #sanitation and #hygiene, UN humanitarians said Tuesday.
More than 1.3 million people – more than half of the population – have access to less than 6 liters of water per person per day for drinking and cooking, said the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs ( #OCHA ).“

I've had a great time at the family cottage, but when we're talking about the best things in life, put these near the top of the list
- unlimited running, potable water
- connection to a municipal sewage system

💁🏻♀️ TIL: Garbage #trucks use hydraulic systems, robotic arms, and compactors to lift, crush, and haul tons of #waste.
Experts explain rear-load and side-load trucks, from the first automated model in 1969 to today’s electric fleets. Every truck repeats the collection process hundreds of times per route before heading to a landfill.

When I was living in Sri Lanka during Covid, I remember people didn't want to eat fish, because Indians often put dead bodies into rivers, which end up in the Bay of Bengal near Sri Lanka and into the bellies of fish.

In the West, cyclospora infections are called an 'outbreak', but, in India, where people traditionally use farmland as a public toilet, they're very common. They develop resistance to it and avoid it by cooking most food, but it often causes 'traveller's diarrhoea' in tourists.

This is pretty cool! TY to @clew for making me aware of SOIL!
Transforming #Waste into Resources
#SOIL is combatting the sanitation crisis in #Haiti by expanding access to dignified and safely managed #sanitation.
"Since 2006, SOIL has been transforming wastes into resources in Haiti. By offering a container based toilet and #composting waste treatment, SOIL is working to create a revolutionary social business model for providing access to safe, dignified sanitation that produces rich, #OrganicCompost as a natural resource for Haiti's badly depleted soils, while also creating economic opportunities in some of the world's most under-resourced communities.
"Today, more than 4,300 households rely on SOIL’s #EkoLakay container-based sanitation service. Through #EcologicalSanitation and #thermophilic composting, SOIL safely transforms more than 1,300 metric tons of waste into #AgriculturalGrade #compost annually while mitigating over 3,000 metric tons of #CO2e each year through aerobic waste treatment processes."

The local garbage company has problems returning a can to its initial location when there are parked cars on either side of driveways. They can't easily get their large truck in between them, even at double driveways. Its automated arms leave some cans in the street. A neighbor hit one of his with his car, when returning from work late.
The child rape club president has created a slush fund to make his rioting insurrectionists all millionaires.
Does your garbage company pick up the trash correctly? How rich has President Felon made you?

Today's Ready Brief: Sanitation When Plumbing Stops Working
Waste management without water. Emergency toilet solutions. Hygiene supplies for every kit.
Free to read: https://thereadybrief.com

If water stops flowing, your toilet stops working within one flush. No pressure = no flush. Sanitation becomes a health hazard in 24 hours.
Emergency toilet: heavy-duty trash bags + kitty litter + your existing seat. Line, use, absorb, tie off, dispose outside.
Not glamorous. Functional.
