A portion of the former Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island has been turned into parkland and the soil will be replenished by composted human feces flushed from a solar-powered restroom.
Mayor Eric Adams heralded the dung-filled development during a groundbreaking ceremony at the former home of the world’s largest garbage dump on Sunday.
As a transplant to the island, I’m excited for this project. I wish I had a bike (and time to ride) to check out the paths.
