What about recycling sweat, urine and feces? Ever see Borat?
We will all have to contain said items in plastic bags and take them to the proper biohazard recycling center.

Gee... birth control pills cause environmental pollution, condoms are made from latex which comes from rubber plantations that destroy the rain forest, diaphragms are also made from latex, chemical spermicides may also get into the environment, the contraceptive sponge is made from urethane which comes from oil, IUDs are made from metals that come from strip mines and having children burdens the environment. I guess to be truly environmentally conscious means giving up sex altogether.

"Wherever possible, Tina Casale switches to compact fluorescent light bulbs; she also recycles daily, rides in carpools or walks when she can, and, as a third-grade teacher, has made it a priority to ensure that global warming is a frequent topic in her science discussions. But in the eyes of some activists, Casale could be doing more to save the environment: Namely, tossing out her birth control pills. Birth control pills, like batteries and baby bottles, have become the latest item in American homes to become a focus of environmental and health concerns. As scientists debate the effects of synthetic hormones that are flushed into waterways, the potential threat has sparked a clash between advocates and critics of the pill. "

I don’t get this; I *take* my birth control pill—why would women be flushing them down the toilet or whatever?
Guess I’m too cheap to do that. Before trying to conceive each of my 4 children I used up the pack of pills first. I paid for them!

The hormones are excreted in urine.
