RE: How We Built a Compost Toilet

in Homesteading4 years ago

Great food and great poops make life so good. Hahahahahaa. That, the cat gif and the beach picture! Imagine if this toilet was duplicated and actually used in the settlements by the beach! From a development professional's pov, I think one of the biggest problems we face is providing basic services like accessible, hygienic sanitation. Which is also one of the indicators of poverty. I reckon you could totally make this into an easy DIY kit that then gets distributed to our homegrown settlements. If you wanted!
I think I remember seeing this glow-in-the-dark seat on Instagram and was so fascinated by it. Hate turning on the light in the bathroom at night and just pee in the dark anyway. Genius, Genius.

Thanks, we had fun making it. I don't know how effective this would be as a large scale solution because a lot depends on the composting that follows the toilet filling up. To compost an entire settlements waste is a logistical challenge that needs regular maintenance. it would definitely be better than having no toilet, but this will definitely have to be adapted for that scenario. This is perfect for people living off grid who can dig and maintain their own compost pits. Mo' people mo' problems.
