A very short post, because the video says it all, but this is such a great example of rethinking I am most impressed.
Taking the water out of the toilet, and also capturing the methane gas is such a great idea, and it’s going to have such a huge impact, because of the volume of people and geographies it can help. The Dispose Waste “what” will always be there, but with the increasing pressure on our water supplies, eliminating the use of drinking water to remove waste is a huge step forward.
Now I don’t expect upscale neighborhoods like Beverly Hills to get rid of their flush toilets anytime soon (except maybe someone like Ed Begley, Jr who is cartoonishly environmentally friendly), but there are places all around the country and the world that this can help.
I am a little skeptical about whether there is enough methane to power our stoves, but it’s still all very clever.
It does seem like making the toilet out of manure is a bit much, but if the poo, I mean shoe, fits . . .
