All drains in the home converge to a single pipe that leads to the septic tank buried outside. When the waste water from your toilet, shower, sinks and washing machine leave your house, it's combined. When it hits the septic tank, however, it begins to separate.

Read More »" " A typical residential septic tank is usually about 4 feet wide (1 meter) by 8.0 feet (2 meters) long by 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall. Jupiterimages/Getty Images Wherever there are a lot of people operating their homes' waste systems on septic tanks, you can bet you'll find plenty of local businesses that specialize in removing the scum and sludge that accumulate in the tank over time. This is an important service; if too much sludge builds up, it can lead to overflow, which is bad for everybody. Generally, commercial septic pumping involves a pump truck removing the sludge, effluent and scum in the tank, then leaving the tank empty and ready to be filled again. Once the waste is removed, there are only so many things that can be done with it. Before federal laws that restrict septic sludge dumping, waste companies could simply bury it in dump sites. As it became clear that sites like these were a health hazard, they were outlawed. These sites remain, though many are in the process of remediation (cleanup). These days, federal and state laws govern the final destination of the contents of your septic tank. In some cases, the septic contents are taken to waste treatment plants and added to the stew piped in from a municipal sewer system or delivered to independent, for-profit companies specializing in the treatment of septage. Septage may also be dumped in approved landfills. The guidelines concerning septage dumping are strict and sites can be few and far between, however. Because of the dilemma posed by disposing of your septic tank's contents, septage is often used in another way: to grow your food. Unless there's a "USDA Organic" label on it, it's possible the food on your table was grown using the sludge that used to be in your septic tank as fertilizer. This use of septage can be a controversial one. Proponents, including many commercial farmers, say it's a win-win situation, since municipalities don't have to worry what to do with the waste, and farmers get cheap fertilizer for their crops. If applied correctly to cropland with good soil and a low water table, the soil should act as a filter in the same way a drain field does in the backyard of a home with a septic tank. It is a contentious subject and the use of biosolids in agriculture continues to come under fire as a potential health and environmental threat. The practice can be seen as an effective way to recycle waste, but there are scientists and health professionals who believe that the use of biosolids in agriculture is dangerous for the nation’s farmland and is creating a number of health risks. There's another, more cutting-edge way septage is being used these days — generating electricity to power homes. It's long been known that the methane produced as a waste product in the breakdown of sewage could be used to generate electricity. While methane is a simple fuel, it can also be broken down and used to generate electricity using fuel cells located on-site at treatment plants. The electricity produced doesn't combust, so there's little or no pollution generated.

Tropical rainforests are home to indigenous peoples who rely on their surroundings for food, shelter, and medicines. Today very few forest people live in traditional ways; most have been displaced by outside settlers or have been forced to give up their lifestyles by governments. Of the remaining forest people, the Amazon supports the largest native, or indigenous populations, although these people, too, have been impacted by the modern world. While they still depend on the forest for traditional hunting and gathering, most Amerindians, as American indigenous people are called, grow crops (like bananas, manioc, and rice), use western goods (like metal pots, pans, and utensils), and make regular trips to towns and cities to bring foods and wares to market. Still, these forest people can teach us a lot about the rainforest. Their knowledge of medicinal plants used for treating illness is unmatched, and they have a great understanding of the ecology of the Amazon rainforest. In Africa there are native forest dwellers sometimes known as pygmies. The tallest of these people, also called the Mbuti, rarely exceed 5 feet in height. Their small size enables them to move about the forest more efficiently than taller people.
