It's high summer in Europe.
The Guardian newspaper reports on a new initiative in the Danish musical epicentre of Roskilde to make festivalgoers aware of the intimate link between them and their beer: the festival organization coined a new word "beercycling" which means nothing more than recycling the valuable nitrates from music lovers' urine through a near-by barley field, and then transmogrifying said barley into golden mjød (actually pilsner beer in the current project).
According to the newspaper, the Roskilde festival (established æons ago in the hippy era) has a reputation for its ecological awareness.

I've been using a composting toilet at our cottage for a long time, as have many Finnish people, we use the compost, after it has been both in the main tank for 3 months and then in the compost for a year.
After that long in a good composting enviroment, no pathogens should be left and I've heard of no issues with people getting sick because they use the compost for growing things.
