Composting Toilets
Flush toilets and sewage systems take expensive clean water, mix a lot of it with a little waste, then mix in expensive, leaky pipes with commercial and industrial waster and then send it to the ocean where all the expensive nutrients go towards pollution. No wonder that simple composting toilets keep being looked at not only for isolated locations, but in broad scale housing developments.
