In the interest of time, I was not able to turn poop to paper. I still think that this was a necessary research inquiry however since it does not look like lint will be replacing paper anytime soon. Poop, however, is an easily obtained resource since every animal poops and it can be scouted for the paper making process.

- Similar to the cotton based lint paper, poop paper is able to develop on the nature of fibrous material. I learned from the article that the animals dung needs to come from a herbivore since they eat high fibrous foods and have somewhat inefficient digestive systems. So no human poop paper.

- The process is as follows: animal poops, poop is collected, poop cleaned and boiled, mixed and blended, colored, formed into pulp balls, screen, dry, and use. The only difference here is the energy used to boil the pulp and the cleaning processes (although the website I used claimed to be chemical free).
