Hi folks,

Some of you have seen me do a 5-minute presentation on an initiative to divert urine from wastewater. That team is now developing a building-scale urine treatment technology with support from the National Science Foundation's Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) award.

In order to learn more about the sustainable design / green building landscape, they are interested in talking to you about your wastewater challenges, concerns and opportunities.

If you can take 30 minutes to speak with them, that would be awesome. This is a smarth, passionate group of people working on some potentially transformative innovations. Use the Calendly link below to sign up. They are completing over 100 interviews in the next 8 weeks and hope to speak to many people in this forward-thinking group.

I'm following up on this ask, as the urine diversion team can use some more interviewees. Huge thanks to those of you who have already been, or have already scheduled an interview. Everyone else--this is a pretty cool opportunity to get a peek into the hopeful future of urine diversion and truly game-changing wastewater solutions. Please consider signing up! thanks, Nadav

I am not the Wastewater Specialist but we definitely have some inside of Jacobs here and in the UK. I don’t want to forward outside of the group without the greenlight. Would it be ok to share? Take Care, Tiombe 202.679.1971 Build [Open hand with plant] Wellness F

Thanks for checking Tiombe. This particular request is not at all limited—they’d love to talk to anyone anywhere who might have good insights. So please, forward away! And this reminds me—I should have specifically suggested that building owners and regulators/code officials are also key audiences for these interviews. So please don’t hesitate to pass this along, especially to clients and local government officials. Nadav

Hi--I'm back again on behalf of this great little organization that is converting urine into fertilizer, and figuring out how to do it at scale. There is still time to get on their interview list if you haven't already. AND--they are looking for a new Executive Director. So if you know someone with non-profit management experience who might be interested in moving to Brattleboro, Vermont, please pass this opportunity along: http://richearthinstitute.org/employment-opportunties/ Thank you, Nadav
