Festival Pee Powers Welsh Forest Growth

0:00On April 2nd, scientists and whales are turning Festival P into tree food to plant 4,500 native trees along the edge of Brecken. Beacons, National Park. The fertilizer comes from urine collected from 700 revelers at last year's Boomtown Festival in Hampshire, processed into 500. 40 liters of nutrient-rich liquid by startup MPK Recovery. The company hooked their mobile unit right up to Festival toilets, using bacteria to pull out nitrogen and other goodies, making it odor-free, and just as good as store-bought stuff. This three-year project mixes in urine from other spots too, backed by a 435,627 pound grant from the Forestry Commission. Folks behind it see this as a smart loop, recycling waste that usually goes down the drain to boost tree growth and secure fertilizer supplies. Co-founder Lucy Belries calls it a way for party goers to spark a forest that last centuries while charity stumble for trees, who've already planted over half a million trees there, is pumped about the innovation.

1:05They kicked things off Thursday with a Scott's Pine Seed planting, marking the first real test on trees after lab trials. MPK has done this before, like grabbing 1,000 liters from the London Marathon last April. Picture this. Revellers waste fueling a greener whales for generations, proving sustainability can start at the Festival Port of Potty.
