When two of the world's renowned brains on sanitation are seen together like this, know something big is brewing

Another major attraction of the fair was the National University of Singapore which has developed a technology that process human 'shit', urine and waste water into reusable products through a combustion process...mindblowing

The Fair did not discriminate and attracted people from all walks of life, as long as you had a pass

Poo from 'Take Poo to the Loo' initiative took the time to visit the Sulabh stall

Memories all around

If you needed to see people thinking outside the box, the Reinvent the Toilet Fair 2014 was just the place

Need I say more?
