Hello to all...
I think what we need is a few pilot community/farm linkages to start
solving this biosolids connundrum...
An entire community would make a public commitment to supplying a
specific local group of farms with clean biosolids. All the children in
the community would discuss the partnership in their school biology
classes... and return home
proudly with bright colored stickers to adorn each toilet and sink in
their homes ... "farm friendly nutrients only"...
The partnership would be championed by the town mayor or some other
charismatic bigshot and the citizens would approve it with a referendum...
There would be public tours of the farms that
received the biosolids... large visible signs would be installed
so that passers by could read "Conservation farm - public partnership to
improve nutrient cycling"...
Ofcourse there would also be hefty penalties for any one found
guilty of polluting the community nutrient cycling system...

Any takers ?
