THANK-YOU! I am crying with laughter here!!

(Sorry Danielle, but the responses so far have really cracked me up!)

While this idea is absurdly labour intensive and expensive, it is not that great for the environment. You are still taking something away, and poo is great fertiliser. If it's a choice between poo and some wood on the ground, I think it is better to take the wood. Otherwise the termites will get it and turn it into methane, a powerful GHG. As Mr Hanky said, it's all about the circle of poo.

Now heres a business for some enterprizing person.

Never ending supply of raw material. abittiors, sale yards, horse stables, zoos, dairies, pigeries. Just to name a few.

If wood chips are made into paper then why not all the straw that currently goes to waste after wheat harvest, also the sawdust from timber mills/yards and joinery works.

Am sure we can come up with more sourses of material. Just thought of all the manure from the chicken and egg industries.

It's already put to good use. I've even bought some myself.

Just a thought to liven things up a bit ...

When you don't buy locally grown fruit and veg. But buy the 'overseas' variety... what do you think these products are fertilised with? ( - and it seeps
right through to what you're eating?) So what are you actually eating?

Writing on poo paper is the least you've got to worry about!

Hmmm...

Your poem ... the sentiments ... almost Shakespean ... I think I have fallen in love ...

You must admit that with the high rate of divorce in Australia there is a ready market for poo paper ... and then there is the market for those writing “irate and outraged” letters to editors, politicians, family members ... indeed the list goes on.

freediver,

Wood on the ground is necessary accommodations for other life ... Of course, many are ungrateful wretches ...

Possums live in our roof, and despite possum boxes, they remain there. From the fights, they hate each other ... then there is the fact that they wear hob-nail boots. I obtained a large bag of zoo poo with the intention of putting lion poo in the roof entrance. For some ridiculous reason my husband refused to do it, let alone sort through the bag. This is an ongoing a bone of contention ...

Banjo,

Brilliant! Are you a member of a Think Tank ...?

Foxy,

Wise as usual. Also with the chemicals added to food, when we drop off our respective twigs, we won’t have need of the embalmers’ arts. Alternatively, if we are cremated we will end up as fireballs. An aside: has anyone noticed the enormous fire extinguishers already secured at the back of the mourners’ nave in crematoriums? “They” know something ...

To further support Foxy regarding the contaminants found in food ...

“We recommend, therefore, that the use of tobacco in rooms used for the preparation or storage of raw material or meat products should be prohibited by regulation ... (however) ...rodent and insect bodies and excrement are by far the most serious”
