Re: [Paddlewise] Disposal of Human Waste

Sorry Ian,

I can't agree with you at all. As someone who makes my living designing
industrial wastewater treatment programs, I have seen far to many hazardous
waste generators who would "clean" up their wastewater by adding more water.
Although the concentration of waste in the water is less, the same number of
pounds of hazardous material is still there.

The same thing holds true for human waste and the ocean. In other words,
"Please don't sh*t where I eat (and paddle). ;)
