Open access to a growing (175+) human-curated research documents on the history and culture of human excreta and humus.io inputs and outputs categorized and linked below.
The Nature Calls project is about how anyone can make our very own "brandless-spanking-new" humus.io ...and why it so significantly and brandlessly matters where we each daily do our humus.io number one and number two. We humus.io humans are in a bit of tight spot this millennium. The situation is not merely a one-off trivial contradiction that we can pass off on the next generation. It is a much more serious web-of-life (habitat capacity) finite planet crisis. The systems ecology predicament we've caused ourselves and other life is due to our creating too much waste and pollution, too much deforestation and destruction of biodiversity, while consuming far more resources than we can reproduce on this tiny sunny earth-island in the sky.
We each have the capacity to personally create about one half cubic yard of new living humus each year, which continuously retains and purifies 93 gallons of fresh potable water (25k gallons per acre/inch), and provides without big mono/ag fertilizers or pesticides the nutrition now missing in our foods and depleted soils. The math shows that closing our nutrient cycle, by creating humus instead of waste, is the single most effective thing we can do to reduce subsurface waste pollution and the depletion of our soils and water supplies, sequester carbon and significantly improve ecosystems.
