Pee and Poo - From Problem to Blessing
There is an urgent need for sanitation in world today. Human excrementa are contaminating water with ch***ra and other diseases. There is a way to change this problem into a solution for last weeks mission. The peepoo bag is an excellent way to solve both the food crisis and the lack of safe water. The bag is easy to use, it's biodegradable and it's cheap. But even more important - used bags are extraordinary as fertilizer.
It's a simple solution to a difficult problem; and as we all know, the simple solutions are often the best. Below is a video showing how the peepoo bag is met with enthusiasm.
