  Fecophobia

  I was so pleased to see the topic of humanure being digested here. Thanks, too, for the reference to the Humanure Handbook.

  I have lived with a sawdust toilet here in Northern New Mexico for almost 6 years.  Even though I live without a flush toilet, I still have friends, guests, and out-of-town company.

  The Humanure Handbook has been my trusty guide.  The sawdust toilet system works so well even my mother (a Virgo, no less) came to stay with me for a month and didn't complain.

  More of us need to get over our fecophobia.  As Humanure Handbook author Joseph Jenkins says, "We need to stop shitting in our drinking water."  So much of the world has no clean drinking water, and here we are defacting in ours. What a strange species we are.

  Try a sawdust toilet.  Follow the guidelines in the book. You'll get over your fecophobia in no time.On Umbra on composting toilets, again posted 4 years ago 7 Responses
