Recycle madness.  Collect and recycle urine as a fertilizer.

From NPR:

Instead of flushing urine into sanitary waste treatment, use waste-separating toilets and return the urine to agricultural production as a source of nitrogen and phosphorus.

  The Rich Earth Institute has a pilot program in Vermont.

Volunteers needed to donate urine.

In case you are interested they are looking for 170 volunteers to donate 6,000 gallons.  Supposedly this will decrease nitrogen (nitrate and ammonia?) and phosphorus pollution from waste water plants.
