07.01.2022 Today is #WorldToiletDay and the theme for this year is sustainable sanitation and climate change. A lot of water and #sanitation services around the world are both water and energy-intensive, and can result in greenhouse gas #emissions. Increasing the efficiency of #wastewater systems means lower #energy use and lower emissions. Biogas from human waste can also be captured and used for greener energy generation, something that the Australian #water industry is already doing!
