Why don't more people use composting toilets in their homes? There are several different composting toilet systems that are suitable for almost any kind of home situation, and I think it is pitiful that so few people know or seem interested in learning more about them. Perhaps this is because we have, as Joseph Jenkins has suggested, "fecophobia" - a fear of talking about or dealing with our own "waste" in a productive manner.
Human "waste" can actually become a valuable environmental resource (compost), when dealt in a responsible manner. Flush toilets, on the other hand, not only produce waste which must be treated and disposed of, they also waste millions of gallons of water each year! The time to switch to composting toilets is NOW! If you are interested in learning more, you can visit the Composting Toilet Information website to read composting toilet reviews, information about different kinds of composting toilet systems and much much more.
