Facts about composting toilets: Using water is not always a good thing. In the case of poop it creates a ton of problems. Diseases (like the Corona virus) spread much faster when we use water for sewage disposal. In NYC, everytime it rains ¼ inch, sewage overflows into our waterways. By using compost toilets, our waste eventually becomes a fertilizer which can be part of the ecosystem again. 99% of all “Disease creators” are killed in the composting process by tiny organisms with no harm to the environment! If you are thinking that it’s gross that your shit will hang out on a composting pile, then think about how gross it is to have it go into the ocean where we swim! . Instead, It will relax in a pile covered in straw for a year. It won’t smell one little bit and will not attract rats or raccoons or other animals-- only microorganisms who will work hard transforming it.
