This is a fantastic idea, here in the UK we've just been dumping raw sewage in the rivers and poisoning the coast because it'd cut into water companies record profits to treat it (also Brexit chemical shortages or something)- if we can turn the poop into something useful that can sell then the won't let a drop off that precious filth go to waste.
