The Rich Earth Institute reclaims human urine as a fertilizer, preventing downstream nutrient pollution, conserving water resources, and providing sustainable fertilizer to local farms. Since 2012, Rich Earth has operated the first and largest community-scale urine nutrient recycling program in the US. Rich Earth advances the use of human “waste” as a resource through demonstration, research, and education. There is a steady flow of projects in each of these arenas for the ECO Service Member to support and potentially lead. The ECO position will be tailored to the skill set and interests of the Service Member.
