Here is the link for this book:

This book is an absolute MUST READ for anyone who wants to conserve water, compost, or just know more about how our current method of dealing with human excrement is expensive, inefficient (yes even treated water can still be contaminated...do I really want to DRINK that?), and completely unnecessary.
And if you take a look at page 56, you will find a discussion of how compost miraculously degrades heavy metal and other toxins in a short period of time, even URANIUM!
In fact, one farmer in Austria says he used compost in his fields and it helped keep his plants from absorbing the radioactive poisoning from the Chernobyl accident.
Wow, maybe we're actually onto something here. A new way to dispose of toxic and hazardous materials.
