During the past six years alone, federal records show, more than 615,000 tons of sludge from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago has been plowed into 29,000 acres near the nation’s third largest city. (All of that land combined is roughly the size of west suburban Aurora.)
Back in the 70’s…when we owned our first home in the South Suburbs of Chicago….we went to the waste yard off the Calumet Expressway….dug this stuff up….took it home…and created a new garden with it. We were young and it sounded so eco-friendly, at the time. Nu-Earth, indeed!!!

Ironically, sewage sludge is the new fertilizer now that countries like the Nether-lands and Canada are banning nitrogen for ‘climate change’. Hope you like the taste of SSRIs with your soybeans !
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
