This is an entry in the Sierra Club’s “eco-comedy” video competition, and while it may be a little lacking in realistic eco-solutions (are we really going to do away with municipal plumbing in favor of human poo composting?), it has definitely nailed the comedy part. Or maybe I just think the phrase “poop in a bucket” is really funny. At least I hope I do, because I’m going to be singing it all day.
