A resource-oriented aperitif. What do sustainable neighbourhood planning,<br />
urine-based fertiliser and a traditional Swiss aperitif have in common?<br />
In their short film, <strong>Eawag</strong> junior researchers dispelled myths surrounding<br />
resource-oriented wastewater systems. The short film explains the potential<br />

questions and concerns of key stakeholders. The researchers also took<br />
part in the Global Science Film Festival with their short film.<br />
