    I wonder if transforming all the microplastics that are everywhere would improve or worsen everyone’s health.

      Probably improve. Not immediately, and don’t go shoveling it into your mouth, but enough of the poop would have to be treated via simple exposure or a sewage plant.

      City people tend to not really understand poop, waste management…give poop enough time, and a little care, it’s fertilizer. Where I live, some of the soils are very very black. Very rich & fertile. It’s the best soil. But what created that rich soil?

      It was poop. Poop, pee, rotting biological lifeforms. It was poop, it no longer is poop, I bought this book a year & a half ago that details how to safely turn your own poop into sterile soil. There are many different methods, web search it.

      I enjoy the benefits of society & modern plumbing, septic…but if/when everything breaks down…I want a good outhouse. I don’t want to be sitting around like an idiot wondering, “Where does my poo-poo go without 1.4 gallons of water per flush? 🤔”

      That depends on what exactly is the poo. If it’s a poo of a living creature, it will be very not good, it’s riddled with microorganisms, viruses, and bacteria that you really really don’t want in your bloodstream. If it’s an abstract idealistic version of poo than it might be better.
