L'urine humaine pour une transformation écologique et sociale | Fabien Esculier | TEDxEcoleDesPonts

Did you think flushing the toilet was a simple, everyday action? Think again! In reality, significant ecological and social issues, too often overlooked, lie behind our management of urine and feces. In a talk blending environmental, historical, and sociological perspectives, Fabien Esculier takes us on a captivating journey… into the heart of our toilets! A civil engineer with the Corps of Bridges, Waters and Forests, Fabien Esculier is also a researcher at the LEESU laboratory of École des Ponts ParisTech. Since 2014, he has coordinated the OCAPI program, which studies the functioning and sustainability of food-excrement systems, as well as the possibilities for their evolution through the integration of separate urine and fecal management. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
