https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koUWaAr-itY Peace Corps... Poop in a hole for two years (probably with diarrhea the whole time)! As you can imagine, "public" toilets in such settings just means "poop in the bushes." I saw a 10 year old boy I knew just took a poo poo naked in the open like a dog before swimming in the river.

What you guys are looking at/describing is actually an ingenious toilet: a composting latrine. Some Peace Corps volunteer or NGO is probably responsible for that Bolivian one. Peace Corps Volunteers were making them in the Dominican Republic while I was there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composting_toilet The pee and poop are separated because they are then later used as organic fertilizers

Saladman posted:E: Hey, wait... literally none of the compositing toilets in the page you link have a separation for pee and poop. Oops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_diversion Maybe "composting" wasn't the right description for it, although the poop/pee is still used as a compost, just separately. Still looks like a lovely toilet to use, though. I didn't have much faith in these things working, because they rely on being used and maintained properly, and where I lived literally nothing fell into that category. You weren't supposed to throw your trash/toilet paper into a regular pit latrine (aka, hole you poop in), but everyone did. I can picture kids just making GBS threads all over this complex system it until it breaks down completely. Thesaurus fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Mar 18, 2015 |
