HUMAN SEWAGE POURING into NY HARBOUR!! | |
Waterbug  User ID: 1295673  United States11/19/2012 10:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Seems to me it was not long ago I saw a documentary that showed NY fills barges with garbage and tows them out to sea and dumps them. Not sure if that is still the norm or not, but big cities are a major negative impact on our environment. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20889314 Still the double standards always make me laugh. Cities with millions can pollute the hell out of everything and no problem. A farmers cow craps in the stream and government is all over them with fines and forcing them to build containment ponds at barns and building berms and fences all over the place to keep any runoff from snow melt and rainstorms into waterbodies. But they do nothing about farms growing crops that spray the hell out of everything with chemical fertilizers, round up and other weed killers and insect control chemicals. Take a look at the huge dead zones in the oceans of the world near the major urban coastal centres. The whole system is a crock. Beat the hell out of the little guy but leave the corporations alone and government just does what it wants........... and if they have to go against the rules then they just change the rules to work for them. In Mexico you can just take all that human sewage and fertilize your crops with it. The sewage plant pays you to take the sewage, and then you save a huge amount of cash on fertilizer. Fertilizer is so expensive now. That's why US farms can't compete with Mexican farms, not to mention they have no labor laws. Mexican farms are putting US farms out of business. In the US the EPA has to test the sewage and there are lots of restrictions for using it. I don't think that's good... Human waste as fertilizer  Human waste as fertilzer is actually ok... What is not OK....all the prescription drugs and non-biodegrable items mixed with the waste If humans were water, we would be toxic waste. Strontium. Above EPA standards for drinking water. |

Doesn't that mean repairs are complete? I'm bored. That grammar is downright horrible. This passes for journalistic writing? Who are hiring these people?

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27662195 United States11/19/2012 11:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I bet all those New York area citizens never even imagined the city would literally become a toilet. Another thing completely out of your control after a disaster such as this but I am sure people are complaining about how things should be back to normal at the snap of a finger. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19200631 i'm still waiting on the sinkhole reports that are bound to come in. anyone else see that show 'dirty jobs,' the one where he goes into new york's sewers and is like...holy shit, these ancient crumbling bricks in these nasty tunnels are all that is keeping this city from collapsing? built in the 1920's i think, it's scary! |

Phennommennonn Forum Administrator 11/19/2012 12:13 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | wow......NYs got its own 440 outer bridge crossing stink. political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. |

What is not OK....all the prescription drugs and non-biodegrable items mixed with the waste Bingo, properly composted and aged human waste is excellent fertilizer. But it does have to be composted to temperatures that kill the pathogens that naturally live in omniverous/carniverous fecal matter. The other problem is the prescription drugs and hormones that pass through the system which also may or may not be broken down by the composting process. Also when it comes to run of the mill sewage "sludge" that is composted, it must be tested for all manner of heavy metals and toxins. Ok to put on your lawn perhaps, but I wouldn't want to grow edibles in it. We just don't know what compounds (such as pharmaceuticals) are actually absorbed and taken up into the plant. |
