The Global Sanitation Crisis (#1)

On this episode of the ZuLoo Pōōdcast, we talk about the Global Sanitation Crisis, what it’s like to poop on a train in Bangkok, frozen feces raining from the sky, and the reality of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal #6 (read more about that here):

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2015-2030 (https://sdgs.un.org/goals)
and
World Health Organization’s 2020 global sanitation report (https://www.unicef.org/reports/state-worlds-sanitation-2020)

Listen and laugh along then join ZuLoo’s cause to bring safe sanitation to the whole world.

Poo News:

* Leaky SpaceX toilet problem will force astronauts to use backup ‘undergarments’ (CNN)

* A man was 'covered' in poop after a passing plane dumped toilet waste over his backyard, lawmaker says (Business Insider)

Fast Facts and Figures

* 6 out of 10 people lack safely managed sanitation services (i.e. a private toilet)
Nearly 900 million people around the world practice open defecation

* Each day nearly 1,000 children die due to completely preventable diarrheal diseases

* Achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.2 will take at least another 80 years. The UN’s goal is to achieve this within the next 8. To hit the mark, people around the world will need to quadruple their efforts to bring toilets to everyone.

* Lack of attention to sanitation problems in the social and political realms leads to serious consequences for humankind. Public health deterioration and economic injustice are just consequences that communities face when proper sanitation is not a top priority. Converestely, adequate individual and community sanitation boosts economies and “unlocks human productivity”. (State of the World’s Sanitation 2020 Report, pg 16)
