One of my refrains is that the neglected world of sanitation needs a celebrity champion who is unafraid to talk about shit. I learn this morning that Greg Wise, best known as Willoughby in Sense and Sensibility, is trying to install biogas digesters in Africa. That’s amazing, and it’s also amazing that he seems to know what they do. “We don’t have a very good relationship with poo,” he says, “And we should have.” Yes!
