Have you guys seen this yet?

Toilet tech proves that where there's muck there's brass.

Nearly a third of the world's population still has no access to safe, hygienic sanitation. This means they have to go the toilet out in the open - in the bush, fields or forests.



The article talks about how toilets are becoming cool. Sure, having a toilet reduces the spread of some parasites and pathogens, but that's not the really interesting bit. What I thought most interesting from a permie point of view, are the products they are creating from human waste. Composted humanure of course, but also cooking fuel.
 
My previous laptop never exploded like that. Read this tiny ad while I sweep up the shards.
