Paul Wheaton’s been working on something called a willow feeder—a surprisingly simple way to keep poop out of rivers and feed trees instead. He’s putting together a movie to show how it all works.

There’s a new Kickstarter from Paul Wheaton—this one’s about willow feeders. It’s a system for handling human waste that avoids sewage plants entirely. It’s kind of brilliant, honestly.

Paul Wheaton has spent over a decade fine-tuning a system called the willow feeder. It’s a thoughtful alternative to conventional sewage treatment—quiet, natural, and surprisingly practical. Now he’s putting together a movie to show what it is and how it works.
If you’ve ever wondered what it might look like to take a cleaner, more regenerative path with human waste, this is worth a look.

For more than 14 years, Paul Wheaton has been testing a system called the willow feeder. It’s designed to handle human waste in a way that’s clean, simple, and gentle on the land. No mixing everything into toxic sludge. No river pollution.
Now he’s working on a movie to share what he’s learned. If that sort of thing interests you, here’s where to take a peek: [Insert link]
Tired of rivers and oceans being treated like toilets? Paul Wheaton’s new Kickstarter is funding a movie about a better way—the willow feeder. A clean, simple solution that feeds trees instead of polluting water.

Poop pollution? There's a better way. Paul Wheaton’s willow feeder is a game-changer—and now there's a Kickstarter to turn it into a movie. Let’s make sewage solutions sexy.

Paul Wheaton is at it again—with his 15th Kickstarter, and this time, it’s about cleaning up our rivers and oceans. How? With something called a willow feeder—a low-tech, high-impact way to handle poop safely without the toxic gick of sewage treatment plants.
This Kickstarter aims to turn 14 years of willow feeder design work into a movie that explains the system and the science. Let’s replace river pollution with giant willow trees.

Did you know sewage treatment plants still dump toxic waste into rivers and oceans? Paul Wheaton’s been working for over a decade on something better—a thing called the willow feeder. It’s clean. It’s effective. It grows trees.
Now he’s launching a Kickstarter to fund a full movie showing how it works and how anyone can build one. Help spread the word—this is the kind of innovation that could actually make lawmakers say, “Yes, please!”

This one’s for anyone who's ever said, “There’s got to be a better way.”
Sewage treatment plants are failing us. They mix all the waste together, treat it poorly, and then dump the toxic leftovers into rivers and oceans. That’s the conventional model. But Paul Wheaton believes we can do better—way better.
He’s spent 14 years optimizing something called a willow feeder—a low-tech system that keeps poop out of the water, uses natural processes to break it down, and turns it into nutrients for trees. It’s not just cleaner. It’s smarter.
This Kickstarter is to make a movie—to show the full story, the how-to, the why-it-matters. Because if enough people see this, it could change laws, change landscapes, and maybe even change minds.
