- stephenr 7y agoRaw sewage probably isn’t that great for fish either.
- icebraining 7y agoYeah, it may be a concern in terms of extra costs in sewage treatment.
- adrianN 7y agoRaw sewage is well known to decompose in the environment into harmless things. Unlike the majority of chemicals we invented in the last 100 years or so.
- Tharkun 7y agoErrr.....no? Human waste in water is a major cause of disease. Sure, a turd or two won't be a problem. And sure, it'll decompose. But all kinds of pathogens remain. There are billions of people, and as the eponymous book says: everyone poops.
- adrianN 7y agoPeople have been pooping for millions of years without filling our oceans with poop. We have been creating new chemicals for a hundred years and have created a huge waste problem. The last time pooping had a big impact on the global ecosystem was during the Great Oxygenation Event, afaik.
