drink pee
No, no, I don't care how you phrase it or what the science behind it is, I will never drink pee.

Researchers at EAWAG Aquatic Research in Switzerland have developed a simple way to extract the phosphorus and nitrogen from urine to be used as fertilizer.

drinkpeedrinkpeedrinkpee is a project about the role our bodies play in larger ecosystems.

The project includes an installation and a DIY kit for turning your pee into fertilizer.

Both the installation and kits were recently featured in the June 2008 issue of ArtNews, and on the Discovery Channel's Planet Green series.

Gew!
