27. Strategy Ergonomics 2 nd leading death from cancer in America -American Cancer Society, 2014

28. Strategy Electricity Generation A microbial fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy by the catalytic reaction of microorganisms “MFCs hold such promise because they are currently one of the most efficient means of converting waste to energy” –BBC, 2014 “THE TOILET OF THE FUTURE WILL TURN POOP INTO POWER” – FAST COMPANY, 2011 “Finally, A Way To Harvest Hydroelectric Energy From Toilet Flushes” in Korea – Popular Science, 2014

29. Strategy Reduced Water Usage

30. Strategy Nutrient Recycling “Urine is chock full of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, which are the nutrients plants need to thrive—and the main ingredients in common mineral fertilizers.” - Scientific American, 2010 “The Global Phosphorus Research Initiative, led by Swedish and Australian scientists, estimates that the world’s readily available phosphorus supplies will be inadequate to meet agricultural demand within 30 to 40 years.” – American Scientist, 2010 Nitrogen Cycle Phosphorous Cycle

31. Strategy Air-filtering plants Benzene Formaldehyde Trichloroethylene VOCs Dwarf Date Palm Areca Palm English Ivy Boston Fern Lily Turf Chinese Evergreen Bamboo Palm Selloum Philodendron Flamingo Lily Devil’s Ivy Spider Plant Broadleaf Lady + More -NASA Clean Air Study, 1989

32. Strategy Microbial MaterialsHygienics Titanium Oxide No Touch Functionality
