We’re back with another installment of our “Summer Dispatches” series, this time starring Field Trip Correspondent Nicole Jones as she figures out how one plant in Arcata, California, is cleaning human wastewater … using a swamp. That’s right, you can clean the grossest thing you can imagine with the second-grossest thing you can imagine.
Join her as she travels from toilet flush to treatment center to duck-covered pond, and learn about how wetlands work as nature’s water filtering system.
We’ll be back every Monday through early November with a new report from somewhere else on the planet. So stay tuned!
