The New York Times tried to inject a silver lining into the fertilizer shortage gripping American farmers by telling them to use pee as a substitute to help foster a so-called green transition.
Times climate journalist Catrin Einhorn belched in an absurd news item that the worldwide “shortage of chemical fertilizer” she blamed on “the war in Ukraine” can potentially be solved by human urine. “It just so happens that human urine has the very nutrients that crops need,” she claimed, praising how urine “has a lot more [nutrients], in fact, than Number Two, with almost none of the pathogens.”
Einhorn then dismissed the utility of chemical fertilizer because it doesn’t mix with climate wokeism. “Farmers typically apply those nutrients — nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium — to crops in the form of chemical fertilizers,” she wrote. “But that comes with a high environmental cost from fossil fuels and mining.” Einhorn quoted Rich Earth Institute Education Coordinator Julia Cavvichi using a cringe pun, which ironically summed up the silliness of Einhorn’s entire piece: “‘Hashtag PeeTheChange.’”

Nothing like vaxx urine with spike proteins to contaminate our food source
Might as well recycle used teeth paper and spray septic tank waste directly on the fields./s
Toilet
Move around or it’ll burn plants...
I recommend cannibalism to New Yorkers in the coming famine, and suggest they start at the New York Times.
The New Piss Boy
If pee becomes a valuable commodity I’m investing in beer stocks!
Unicorn princess fairy pee works even better than human pee.
No Brawndo?
And where the hell are farmers supposed to get millions of gallons of urine?
Yea, I know there are millions of humans walking around. I also know that when they have to pee they go to a bathroom and flush it down the toilet—making it unusable by farmers.
Will people start saving their urine in bottles and turn it in at urine processing centers? I don’t think so.
But that’s the only way they’ll ever collect enough urine to used as fertilizer.
The people at the NYT are simply idiots.
Returnable beer bottles. Drink beer, refill with pee, drop it off at the appropriate pick-up center. For the planet!
Even if this urine theory is correct, a person can only produce so much in a 24/hr period.
What? Are farmers now supposed to hire immigrants to sit around all day drinking cervesa, then collecting and labling their excretions? Will that be a full time job?
Where will any unused urine be stored while the grounds are being tilled?
And don’t say in an empty coffee can.
Things you never thought you’d need to contemplate except as a joke.
Regular practice for years.
