Now and again one comes across one of those stories that just grabs your attention.
So it was when I read that United Utilities have been successful in turning human waste into odourless fertiliser pellets. The technique was developed in Ellesmere Port’s waste water treatment works and is being used to boost maize and rape-seed crop yields.
The serious side of the project is hailed as an environmentally-friendly way to dispose of human waste. And rightly so.
There are any number of wisecracks one could use about this story but, for once, I’ve let the opportunity pass even though I was sorely tempted.
