Let me tell you a sewage system works similar to a fish tank but is done better. The ammonia in the waste is converted into nitrite by bacteria and that nitrite is converted into nitrate by other bacteria. The end result is water that is cleaner chemically than typical river water. They also run UV lights over it which kills any other sorts of bacteria.
Most places in the world don't even pump the treated water back into a river that feeds into a water supply.
If when you say we drink what we piss you mean the H20 then you are right. The water we drink is actually water that has gone thought the ecosystem probably millions of times and at one point a dinosaur may have drunk it and pissed it out even.
I am not sure you know how the ecosystem works, Crap and piss is not a contaminant to the environment but in fact part of the system.
There is even a thing called aquaponics where you have for instance some fish and you collect their waste and use it as fertilizer in your edible plants to make them grow faster. You are basically creating your own mini ecosystem for yourself. You eat the fish once they are large enough and their waste provides your plants with enough nutrients to grow fast enough.
Little hint. Stop reading all the conspiracy theories and actually go learn some science.
What are you on about - I am not a conspiracy theory nutter (although I do read non-mainstream news) and I am an engineer - I am not a water treatment expert, but I know enough science to know what I am talking about.
Let me be clearer: I was not talking about natural waste, but man-made ones that enter the cycle in volumes much higher than those the ecosystem can naturally process and neutralise, that due to industrial mass production and (improper) disposal. Not crap and piss, but stuff like this:

I hope I have been clear this time.

AJ is a scaremonger, we all know that. What remain valid though are the socio-political-economic trends. That our current path isn't sustainable, certainly not for US society, is beyond the shade of a doubt. The point isn't the "whether", but the "when" it will happen. Some people take the "when" a bit too extremely and are actively preparing themselves, others are wary yet not in a state of urgency, some others are totally oblivious.
If you want to talk about non-mainstream commentators, Mike Snyder from The Economic Collapse Blog is a lot more balanced in his views and ultimately correct in saying that collapse will not be a big bang kind of event, but will unfold slowly and in a much more diverse and pervasive way, as a gradual yet relentless decay of virtually every seam of that holds our society together.
What do you think of Gerald Celente?
