The answer is a resounding “no.” The waste products of the human body have many harmful effects on plants, including soil quality and plant health.
There are two main reasons why we should be concerned about our waste:
1. The soil is the source of life. Soil acts as a filter, separating out nutrients and pollutants from the water that flows through it.
If the soil becomes polluted, it will eventually cause problems for plants.
2. Humans need food to live. When we eat food, we take in many nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, fiber, and proteins. When those nutrients enter the human body, they are transformed into waste. When our waste is not properly disposed of, these nutrients can pollute our soil and waterways, which may then cause problems for other organisms, such as fish and wildlife.
