The Scoop on Poop: Safely capturing and recycling the nutrients in greywater, humanure and urine

Author Dan Chiras is the director of the Evergreen Institute where he teaches and models sustainable living and building practices.

The author has published over 30 books which have sold 100 000’s of copies

This is the first book to give safe, practical advice on ecologically sound ways to recycle human waste based on years of personal experience and research.

The increasing demand for water and water shortages in the southern states and elsewhere is creating interest in options for reuse and reduction of water waste for household and commercial use.

This book will cover the commercially available humanure composting systems, homemade composting systems and gray water treatment options like constructed wetlands and indoor greywater planters.

Each chapter will describe the option, explain how it works, give a list of do’s and don’ts, identify problem areas, cover installation, discuss cost and cover the pros and cons of the system.

The author has been researching this topic for 15 years. He has built, installed and used several of the systems described in the book and written extensively about ecologically sound waste water systems in several of his books.
