Think about what you flush - it has amazing potential | Tracy Hodel | TEDxStCloud

NOTE FROM TED: Research around energy technologies discussed in this talk remain an ongoing field of study. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t... Energy and nutrients can be recovered downstream from our toilets. This isn’t bathroom humor - the potential is worth getting over our squeamishness. Providing innovative, high quality, cost-effective public services to the City of St. Cloud’s residents and customers is a key driver for Tracy’s current role as public services director for the City of St. Cloud. She has been with the City of St. Cloud for over 22 years, was born and raised here, and received her bachelor’s degree in biology locally. In recent years, the City of St. Cloud has taken a national and global leadership role in its sustainability efforts due to City staff’s efforts. Tracy is leading this initiative and advocates for being big and bold with ideas, being brave enough to implement them and never underestimating the impact of small actions. Taking action is a critical key to learning and success. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
