There are a lot of things to detest about poop. It’s poop, for one. It smells. It carries disease. It never stops being produced. But that aside, there’s a lot to like about poop.
It’s one of the world’s most plentiful sources of nutrients for fertilizers. Processed properly, poop can also be converted into electricity. It even be used as new artistic medium, though somebody’s already scooped up the prize for poop painting. As the world’s population grows, both the positive and the negative effects of poop on public health and the environment will only grow, so a burgeoning group of brave scientists are trying to figure out how to make the best of a crappy situation.
