Transforming Human Poop Into Eco-Friendly Fertilizer | Best Job Ever

·Nov 11, 2024

I'm gonna go get in my poop dumping uniform. See you in a minute. Working with poop in Haiti may not necessarily seem like something you could really put your heart into, like a job you could really love.

Okay, I'm ready!

Yes, but basically we've created this way to do this work with dignity and to make a livelihood that you can feel proud of. We convert human waste into fertile soil that can be used in agriculture instead of being dependent on foreign countries to send fertilizer to restore Haiti's soil. Ecological sanitation is a way that Haiti can use the resources that we have here to actually generate something locally.

More than half of the people living in Haiti do not have a private place to go to the bathroom. The impacts of people not having access to a toilet are twofold. It’s really, it’s about public health, and it’s also about the environment. We really rely on the power of ecological systems. Once we dump the waste, most of the work is then by naturally occurring soil microbes. The decomposition is ongoing, and after about six months, we have a finished product, which is just this beautiful rich soil fertility.

Neo- so you can see that the focus my papa's like, “Isis afternoon will not seem illness, Allah didn't.” So lovely tea people can actually feel like they're part of a movement to restore Haiti's soil and to restore Haiti's environment. I have such an amazing team, as dedicated, passionate, brilliant people around me every day.

It's a job that not only can you make a livelihood doing it, but you can feel very proud to be a part of restoration. When you work in an environment like that, you can be knee-deep in poop and it's still the best job ever.

Oh, being a young girl loving dinosaurs is a little bit unusual and everyone thought I was kind of weird, but you said get over that.
