SOIL focuses on transforming waste into resources in Haiti through ecological sanitation, where human waste currently is converted into valuable topsoil. Sasha also will speak about her transition from academia to advocacy to development work and how SOIL's work has changed since the earthquake. The talk will address the importance of integrated approaches to environmental problems with a particular focus on the role of international organizations in global development.
