There's just way too many people in the world today.
We have to come up with a way to 'thin the herd' over the next few
generations or we'll all be over run.

I agree completely, and I think it inappropriate for families to have
more than one or two kids.

Here (Tallahassee) Sewage is sprayed onto special fields where hay is
grown for the purpose of using said hay for preventing erosion at
construction sites. Unfortunately, this caused nutrients to seep into
ground water and as a result many of the local springs have turned
green from algae.
A small community near here uses it to fertilize planted pines that
will be sold for profit.
The real answer discussed in that article is probably most right,
separate urine and feces.
I'd like to develop a system for homes far from sewage lines whereby
feces are spun in a thing like a washing machine causing liquids to be
spun out. The resulting mass would be scraped off and then dried with
a solar dryer, compacted into bricks and later collected like
garbage. This would eliminate the necessity to run expensive sewer
lines to each home. However, what to do with the liquid waste? First
you separate grey water from urine and leftover water from the feces.
Then you use some sort of electrical ozone generator to sterilize it.
Then the tough part comes, removing the nutrients............

This all reminds me of a crazy project in the building where i started
my company. One of the building owners was a crazed biologist
entrepreneur who had devised a way to turn the fecal matter from
chicken farms back into high protein chicken feed ( apparently
chickens are not very efficient critters so a lot of protein stays in
their feces). He wanted to know if I wanted to be involved and I told
him that it sounded Waaaaay to much like perpetual motion for my
tastes. Besides, it stank.

I think there is money in ****.
