Remarks

    The Thinker in front of the Musée Rodin in Paris
    Jack Sim uses popular culture to promote the collectivization of human excrement , which is widespread in industrial waste .
  2. ↑ Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (SBA) or Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) was an India-wide campaign from 2014 to 2019 that aimed to improve the hygiene of the infrastructure. The official name of the campaign is in Hindi and means "Mission for Cleanliness and Order in India"
  3. ↑ Rainbow School Toilet, In 2015 President Xi Jinping realized that most rural areas in China use composting toilets and called for a "toilet revolution". With the aim of encouraging students in rural China to make positive and lasting changes in behavior, the World Toilet Organization launched its toilet initiative for rainbow schools in 2015. Many school toilets in rural China have problems with old, unhygienic dry toilets, the lack of hand washing facilities and are often designed where the excrement disposal point is located directly behind the toilet building - uncovered and exposed to the environment.
