Name: Peecycling.
Age: As a term, dates to about 2006; as a practice, centuries old.
Appearance: All yellow.
If this is about peeing while riding a bicycle, I’ve tried it and it doesn’t work. This is about saving and storing your urine.
Why would I want to do that? So the CIA can’t get it? So that it can be recycled.
Recycled as what? Fertiliser. Human urine is a rich source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. According to the Rich Earth Institute of Vermont, the urine one adult produces in a year – 125 US gallons (473 litres) – is sufficient to grow 320lbs (145kg) of wheat.
That’s a lot of wheat. And pee. Making it an especially welcome idea at a time when industrially produced fertiliser is expensive and in short supply, thanks to sanctions against Russia, where a lot of it comes from.
If I can use my pee to humiliate Putin, then that weird dream I had last week will sort of come true. What’s more, those same nutrients, when flushed into wastewater systems, become contaminants responsible for creating environmentally damaging algal blooms.
So by saving my pee I could help the environment, thwart Russian aggression and produce urine-rich bread? You’d also save about 4,000 US gallons (15,000 litres) of potable water annually, according to the Rich Earth Institute.
Let’s say I wanted to give my urine to a farmer. How would I go about that? If you live in Vermont, you can donate it by the jug. The foundation supplies free funnels and has a collection depot in Brattleboro. It can be “a little sloshy” at first, peecycler Kate Lucy told the New York Times, but you get used to it.

I think I’ll start a new business: Hey folks. The pissmobile is on it’s way.
Horse, cattle, and chicken manure makes better fertilizer than human waste. But I can think of at least 14 Republican Senators that should be quite good at producing the equivalent of chicken crap. The “Chickens@#t Fourteen” should make itself useful.
All the plants I peed on and those I saw others pee on died.
I prefer my food without a dose of pharmaceuticals.
Think I’ll continue to pee on Mrs. Augie’s flower beds.
Yeah, I haven’t used my small supply on veggies either, and I may never. In any case it needs to sit quietly and compost with its cover material for at least a year.
The end goal is to starve the useless eaters.
They pretend they intend to replace “fossil fuels” with “renewables,” but end “fossil fuels” and don’t even pretend to look for a replacement.
They ended commercial fertilizer the same way, with no intention of a replacement.
Can’t grow nearly as much food without fuel and fertilizer.
Coincidence?
The funeral will be three days after she catches you peeing on them. She will wonder what is causing them to die. Then she will start watching them closer. Then she will catch the culprit. Three days later will be the funeral.
We’ve used our no pharmaceutical pee on our organic garden for years. A great resource. Along with our sheep, rabbit, and chicken poop we’ve never had to buy fertilizer. That being said, not sure how that can be applied in commercial farming as easily and consistently.
Very nice.
You know urine big trouble when you look to pee to fertilize crops.
Farmers are not allowed to plant anywhere near a septic tank or drain field.
When the guy empties my septic tank he takes his truck to his massive field and empties his truck, he then has to plant Deer food type plants and never human food. Or food that cattle might eat.
These freaks are gonna bring on a new disease. There’s a reason why human waste can’t be used.
There are “donations” being dropped off in odd places all the time by truckers!
I know that. You know that. But the fools and idiots who believe in global warming don’t know that.
I would be glad to drop my urine on Congress.
It would improve them and it.
Technically it can be if it is composted to bring up the temperature to a level, over an extended period, where the pathogens will be killed. Otherwise, welcome to North Korea
What about-—Shi...t running?
Ever been to South Korea? They use human feces in the rice paddies.
Except for your own garden.
