Flush Toilets Called 'Environmental Disaster'

"(CNSNews.com) - Forget the convenience and sanitation of the flush toilet that industrialized nations have enjoyed for most of the past century."

"A growing number of environmentalists are now advocating the expanded use of compost or dry toilets worldwide to combat what they see as an international water crisis."

"Proponents of dry toilets, set to convene at the first annual international Dry Toilet 2003 conference in Tampere, Finland, August 20-23, warn of "environmental disaster" if developing nations aspire to flush toilets so prevalent in the industrialized world."

That is rather nasty if you ask me. Smelly too. DC, that is a great way to post articles, easier to scroll, wish everyone followed your lead. (In that ONE regard.)

Actually the C;evix (i think) Motrim is an amazing device. It doesn't smell and turns poo and pee into fertilizer and clean water. Seriously. Take care of it properly and you can grow a beautiful vegitable garden! (no sarcasm they have one where I work in the summer!)

Edit: It does not smell either if you take care of it. A weekly pail of wood chips!

In regards to the article: i would get one of these dry toilets. I care enough about my environment to do something about it. Plus- they are sanitary. Its not like poop would be flooding the streets or that the air would stink of it.

I think it is reasonable- its a good idea. Too much water is used just to flush crap away. That water could be used to for other reasons- such as drinking water. I think we take it for granted. Do you know that other countries dont use that much water in their toilets. I have noticed this every summer when i go back home to spain (from the US). In the US the toilets are full of water and when you flush it goes on and on. In spain it has enough water to flush it away- its not way full like it is here. This is also true of Cuba. I dunno- it was just an observation. But i think the dry toilet is a good idea.

cool- thanks felicia :)

Personally, I believe it to be more the fault of the sewage system, at least in my country, where 40% of sewage goes untreated into the sea.

They use these toilets at a lot of the rest stops on the hightways in my state.

They're quite amazing. Absolutely no smell. Very clean, and it saves an unbelieveable amount of water.

[Felicia]

you're welcome :)

I wonder, how would that work in a multistory building? If the excrements drop through a 30 meters pipe that will definately cause some problems ( without water ).

This would probably only work if all people in the building shared one toilet in the basement. Other than that it's a nice idea.
