I just came across this incredible Kenyan business that’s turning human waste into clean, eco-friendly briquettes—and I had to share! 
Imagine solving two major problems at once: sanitation and sustainable energy. Instead of letting waste go to landfills (or worse, pollute water sources), these innovators are drying, carbonizing, and compressing it into briquettes that burn longer and cleaner than charcoal or firewood.
Why this is AMAZING:
Reduces deforestation – Less need to cut down trees for fuel.
Improves sanitation – Safely manages waste that would otherwise harm communities.
Creates jobs – Local employment in collection, processing, and sales.
Fights climate change – Lower carbon emissions than traditional fuels.
This is true circular economy thinking—turning a "waste" problem into a valuable resource! Plus, it’s affordable and accessible for households that rely on burning fuel daily.
What do you all think? Should more countries adopt this kind of innovation? Any similar projects happening where you live?
