Description:
Ole Errson describes a simple composting toilet system that is inexpensive both in construction and to operate and, when properly maintained, aesthetic and hygienic. By closing the human nutrient cycle, it is a perfect compliment to organic gardening. In many ways it out-performs complicated systems costing hundreds of times as much. Although it may lack mainstream appeal in first world countries with their expensive, "out of sight, out of mind" sewage systems, it would be highly appropriate in areas that lack such complex infrastructure. However, there seems to be an explosion of interest in sustainability, and many more citizens in _our_ community are coming to feel that Composting Toilets are the Only Way to Go! <http://www.housealive.org/nl-toilets.htm>
