Well then I would think that you would like to make a donation to the Gates Foundation, as one of its missions of the Gates Foundation is reproductive health.

I love that the Gates Foundation brought in 50 gallons of fake poo.

Bill Gates awards $100,000 prize for solar-powered toilet system
If you wonder, then you clearly know nothing on this subject. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is one of the most important non-profits in the world today. What Bill is doing with his money flies in the face of what every "99%" protestor claims those with wealth do. If you don't like some of their initiatives, that's fine, but don't try to liken what they're doing to some sort of railroad job on the taxpayers, because they do an immense amount of good throughout the world.

This is basically a composting toilet but combined with a water purification system run off of the sun and table salt. It also produces hydrogen which can be captured for use and the digested waste can be used as a fertilizer.

Maybe you would like people to ignore the fact that a significant amount of Warren Buffett's donation in the past and money from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation now, is focused on population reduction? Not populaiton control, population reduction. Of course for Bill Gates this comes naturally as his father was once the head of Planned Parenthood (clue: Margaret Sanger's racist mission to kill black babies via abortion).

Yes, Bill Gates is trying to reduce the population by eradicating malaria, coming up with ways to provide clean drinking water for everybody, stopping smoking worldwide, providing aid to disaster-stricken areas, coming up with ways to wage war on poverty stateside, being the single largest donator to the UN Humanitarian Mission, etc. etc. etc.


Seriously, some of you guys are just shocking with how ignorant you are about the Foundation's mission. I happen to live in Seattle, and there's rarely a week that goes by that some dignitary or cast or bigshot isn't coming through town to head down to their buildings under the Space Needle and see an aid proposal or speak on world health issues or any one of a billion other things.

You'd fit right in with the asshats who tried protesting the B&M Gates Foundation late last year because they "only" gave 11 million dollars to help with Seattle-area homelessness. Seriously, people staged sleep-ins outside their offices to protest that, even though they gave by far the most amount of money to that cause, it was felt they didn't give ENOUGH. The American entitlement mentality at work. They love ignorant viewpoints and individuals at those things. You'd be welcomed with open arms.
