First off, thank you for your curiosity about poop! I wanted to just run over the very basics with you guys to give you a more clear understanding of the compost toilet world. It is actually very interesting! To think something each and every human does everyday, is so far behind for the times! Our bathroom in the tiny house is truly not tiny. I was able to get a full size tub in there, as well as his and hers closets. We chose the washer/dryer combo machine to save space, so above that will be a cupboard to store towels and linens.
Now about poop. There is no reason to get all squeamish, you pooped today! You're probably sitting on the toilet right now lol. I tried to keep this quick and simple to not lose you. A composting toilet is a simple answer to a huge world wide problem. The systems we have in place now just aren't working. Treatment plants use chlorine which is very harmful to the land, waterways, fish and humans! Why should we poison ourselves just to be able to flush our poop way? Over 70% of septic systems are failing! That means the diseases that our poop can carry never die.
Composting our poop not only turns it into valuable fertilizer, but also ensures all bacteria and pathogens are killed during the process. For an amazing source of composting information check out www.humanurehandbook.com
We bought our toilet right here in Canada! To find out more on that visit www.downtoearthtoilet.ca
