Is DIY Algae Farming the Future? 322
hex0D points to this "interview with Aaron Baum explaining why people growing algae at home for food can help the environment and their health, and what he's doing to facilitate this. 'We'd like to create an international network of people growing all kinds of algae in their homes in a small community scale, sharing information, doing it all in an open source way. We'd be like the Linux of algae – do-it-yourself with low-cost materials and shared information.' And one of the low-cost materials is your household urine."

So, like I start going down on the bitch, and complain that she tastes like algae and household urine. And then she quips, "But it runs Linux!"
Can't argue with that . . .

Add algae to that and you'll have a space-hardy lifeform that you can fry up like potato chips but waaay healthier. Crispy!

We could use extreme environmentalists as fuel. Since most of them are also vegetarian, they'd even be carbon-neutral!

You'll have some very happy depression-free and horny little soil microbes, then? That's a good thing, right?

Sterile, sure, but with all the prescriptions we are on here in the developed world... not necessarily free from extras.
Well the good news is that if they're on Viagra the urine ends up on the wall instead of in the bowl...

Grow two tanks. One fed urine and one fed composted urine fed algae. Extend as many degrees as needed to lose the ick factor.
