DISPOSING OF HAZARDOUS WASTE BY TURNING HUMAN SEWAGE INTO COMPOST FOR FOOD CROPS YOU EAT

 
Sewage sludge is “the wet solid cake produced after human, residential and industrial wastes are combined in wastewater treatment plants”.
 
Industrial companies need viable places to dump their waste products, and just as the fertilizer industry has found a market for fluoride waste in drinking water, the waste water industry has created a fertilizer market using sewer sludge as a cheap crop input.
 
The only problem is that the compost made by cities from what is flushed down the toilet may contain residual pharmaceutical drugs, antibiotics, sex hormones and other endocrine disruptors, radiated derivatives from cancer treatments, pathogens, steroids and other excreted compounds that could enter the human body, crops or food chain/environment with total affects unknown.
 
Turning sewage into organic compost has become a booming business ever since ocean and waterway dumping — widely used by municipal waste departments for decades — was banned in 1992. 
 
In addition to human sewage and medical and industrial waste used for “biosolids,” the sludge waste from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) is widely used to fertilize vegetable crops.
 
The majority of all animal manure, as well as municipal sewage sludge (politely referred to as biosolids–human waste), in this country is spread on conventional crops.
 
While the use of biosolid sludge is banned from USDA certified organic farms, it is increasingly used as an ‘organic’ (as in terms of material, not practices) fertilizer in the smaller-scale movement associated with healthy, homegrown gardens — despite the fact that this adds numerous toxins to the soil.
 
Many have adopted this up-cycled humanure as a green solution that the EPA and several lobbyists say is ‘safe’ for unrestricted use on veggies, industrial farms and more. Natural News termed it “greenwashing” back in 2010.
