The Invisible Crisis We Flush Away
What if I told you that the most important public health challenge of our time is something you do every day without thinking? For billions of people, though, it's not thoughtless-it's impossible. While we in wealthy nations enjoy clean bathrooms with running water, 2.6 billion people have no toilet whatsoever. This isn't just uncomfortable; it's deadly. Poor sanitation kills more people annually than all forms of violence combined, including war. Rose George's investigation reveals a shocking truth: we've sent humans to space, decoded the genome, and connected the world through the internet, yet we've failed at managing the most universal human function. Even more startling, 90% of the world's sewage flows untreated into rivers and oceans. This isn't a problem "over there"-it's everywhere, hidden beneath our feet, affecting our water, our health, and our future.
