Dearest Poopers, Looking forward to seeing you at the Visitor’s Center for tomorrow’s panel conversation, “Digesting the Design Behind Newtown Creek.”  It’s good to bring things inside, but lately I’ve also been scooping the poop on the street. Check out what some of the $h*t my fellow New Yorkers say in our newest video! And

Dearest Poopers, There’s much big news! The POOP Project is excited to be participating in the NY Green Festival this April 21 and 22 at the Javits Center. It’s going to be HUGE, packed to the gills with green goodies.  And tickets are cheapish! What’s more (What is, Puru? What is more?), we’ve been officially

Dearest Poopers, The POOP Project is proud to invite you to our final event of the year, in partnership with The Salt Salon. Join Shawn “The Puru” Shafner this Sunday, Dec. 18 at 5:00pm for a journey through the bowels of history, from the fall of Rome to the modern day, as we unearth the

Dearest Poopers, Thank you to all those who came out to Club Make and Do’s show this past Thursday. It was a smash! And I got a chance to show off my new hat. Jealous? Click the pic to get your own from Etsy! But that’s old news now. And I know you crave more.

Dearest Poopers, First off, there’s still room for YOU to join us this Saturday, 7/30 at 7:30pm for a rooftop screening of Gasland! Read the original post to learn more or just go express track and and RSVP here! And now for the news… The Puru at the rally with the North River Wastewater Treatment

Dearest Poopers, Here at The POOP Project, we agree with Ben Franklin that natural gas is okey-dokey (see “Not Everyone’s Against Gas“), and that us humans should be able to pass it without scrutiny. But one place where methane is definitely not welcome is in our drinking water. Unfortunately, with a new process for getting

Dearest Poopers, The Gates have gotten into the game–Bill and Melinda, that is. In fact, their foundation has announced $42 million to address global sanitation issues and “Reinvent the Toilet”. Check it out! So what’s your idea? Peaceful pooping, Shawn “The Puru” Shafner

Dearest Poopers, I do so hope to see you tomorrow, Saturday 7/16, for the City of Water Day Festival on Governor’s Island. It’s a free all-day affair (10am-4pm) celebrating the potential of our NYC/NJ waterfront and full of entertainment, education & adventure–including a POOP table manned by The Puru himself. But first, a pew pictures

Dearest Poopers, I’ve just arrived back from exploring the deep, dark Northwoods of Wisconsin. While technically not a poop-themed trip, I did come across an fascinating artifact while sifting through a local thrift shop. I believe it is none other than Mary Poppins’ plunger! I hope that, in between your Merry Poopin’, you’ll have a
