HOLY CRAP!

Holy Crap! is a film which marvels at the work of SOIL, a non-profit organization working in Haiti
to convert human waste into rich, viable fertilizer using dry, composting toilets.

This film has been featured as a"Special Video: In the Field" on the National Geographic website!

Could human waste be a key ingredient in the quest to resolving multiple issues of impoverishment
and sustainability throughout the world? SOIL's work in Haiti has proven that it is. Their dry,
composting toilets truly create a complete cycle of life, as the wastes are collected, treated, and
transformed into fertile gardens, thus reducing the need for foreign aid, interrupting the spread of
disease and providing jobs, education, and dignity.

What impact would these toilets have in the quest for sustainability in the first world? And what
other ways is human waste being transformed into a resource elsewhere in the world? We're hoping
to build this film into a longer project to find out...
