Resource recovery from sewage

When we address issues of sewage, municipal solid waste, air pollution and climate change in isolation, we limit the scope and creativity of our options.  Communities around the world are showing how green energy can come from several waste streams at the same time, and how innovative infrastructure can effectively treat sewage, and reduce inner-city air pollution and greenhouse gases.
