That very well

Otherwise, Liu is a Chinese American who has lived in China for 30 years. He helped to open the CBS News bureau in Beijing in 1981 at the time of normalization of relations between the U.S. and China, staying with CBS News for more than 10 years. He also worked for Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI Italian Television), Swiss Television (SRG) and Zweites Deutses Fernsehen (ZDF German Television).

I wanted to know something about the filmmaker named here. I've discovered that John Liu has directed the Environmental Education Media Project (EEMP) since 1997. The profile I found for him @ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION MEDIA PROJECT is too long to post in one comment. But he certainly sounds like someone who has had a very exciting & committed life.

Wow - so cool to eat bulrushes right out of the water like that. I have never seen that before!

Mr. Liu was also the driving force in the creation and development of the "China Environment and Sustainable Development Reference and Research Center" (CESDRRC), the China HIV/AIDS Information Network (CHAIN) and the Environmental Education Media Project (Mongolia).

How do they sanitize the waste? How does the temperature get to 140F?! I am a student studying Haiti and I want to explain to my classmates how this model works. Does anyone have information?

Thermophilic bacteria are aerobic and as they digest the feces they produce heat until the heap creates 150°F at which condition the pathogens die as and the soil becomes sterile. Paraphrased from The Humanure Handbook.

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

just read the John Jenkin's Humanure Composting book - it is free online. The aerobic bacteria creates the heat.

What do the Clinton's think of this?
