recycling stuff

In America we use 450 BILLION gallons of water each day. Forty percent of that is used to flush our toilets. We should use drinking water for drinking, and use rainwater or recycled water for flushing. Some of the more modern toilets use 40% less water by having two lever; one for liquid waste and one for solid waste. Red worms have a unique ability to neutralize any human pathogens so when they eate organic material and fully digest it, their poop is a great fertizer. Composting toilet systems are a great way to address our sewage problem. The problems arise when sewage is mixed with toxic chemicals, fertilizers, etc. Z-weed is like seaweed, and is is used to clean by a membrane sewage better, faster, and using only 25% of the area now needed. It has nanopores that filter out the water while not letting the particulate matter thru. Holes in the membrane are four times smaller than an HIV virus. viruses and bacteria are filtered out. Singapore is taking waste water and recycling it into drinking water.
