More than four million Americans get some or all of their drinking water from treated sewage
Would you drink recycled sewage? It’s a question you may need to think about someday.
In recent years, the idea of creating a circular economy—in which all of the resources coming into our cities are recycled after they are used—has taken hold. We now routinely recycle paper, glass and food scraps, as well as parts of demolished buildings and crumbling highways. Widespread sewage recycling could be the next frontier.Plastic represents one of the biggest waste challenges for cities in the future.

Narrow Gaps In Bathroom Stall Doors To Be Widened MondayWASHINGTON—Introducing a new measure set to be implemented nationwide, officials announced that gaps in restroom stall doors in American workplaces, restaurants, schools, theaters, and all other public places will be made wider by the start of business Monday morning. “We ask citizens to bear with us as we modernize every toilet stall in the country by doubling the width of the gap between each door and its surrounding frame,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said of the sweeping, mandatory initiative. “The inconvenience should only last a few hours—just long enough to reduce the overall height of the stalls by several inches and retrofit the doors so they are slightly translucent and feature no locking bolt.
