News Zer0-M Video, announcement of broadcasting by BBC World: “Waste not Waste”

Every day a flushtoilet sends 27 litres of precious drinking water down the drain. Scientists are urgently seeking less wasteful sanitation techniques. Earth Report visits Morocco and Tunisia where water is scarce and human waste management a top priority. In Germany waterless urinals and dry toilets are being developed. The Dutch have invented a device that fills compost bags with human waste, right there in your toilet.

Premiere on BBC World will take place on:

Friday 25th Jan - 20:30 (GMT)
with repeats at 10:30 on Monday, 15:30 on Tuesday, and 02:30 and 08:30 on Wednesday.

As a pre-taster you can read a small PDF article (2.6 Mb) about the making of the film written by its director/producer Joshka Wessels. See also www.tve.org/earthreport for more background information about the film and various interesting internet links.
