In praise of Icky World: We Need POO!
“If children can learn to be curious (as well as careful!) about poo, they might just grow up to be scientists who will help us turn billions of tonnes of stinky waste into a source of life.
Addy Farmer has written an entertaining and informative book about poo that every kid (and their parents!) should read. Learning more about poo, and thinking about it in different ways, might help us recreate a green, renewable Earth. Wash your hands. Read on. As Ms Farmer says: Poo is power!
People and other animals poop out billions of tonnes of valuable resources every year. What a waste! In nature, poo is a way for plants and animals to help each other live and grow. It’s a language of conversation among all living things. If we can learn from other animals, poo can be used to enrich the soil, grow food, give us renewable energy, and keep our drinking water clean.”
David Waltner-Toews, O.C. Author of The Origin of Feces: What Excrement Tells Us About Evolution, Ecology and a Sustainable Society
