Now that we know for sure that the environment is in danger, people all over the world are trying to help out by recycling, reducing and re-using. For new home builders, these three tasks have got fairly easy over the years. With shower heads taking less water and systems to help you recycle used shower, bath or sink water, helping the planet has never been easier.
Some have taken a futher step and started composting. We all know about food composting and how it becomes fertilizer. But how about composting your waste? Meaning, when you go to the bathroom. At first glance this can seem, lets say, disgusting. Probably because most must think right now that it works the same way as traditional compost would. Not to worry, there is no diging, no man-handling. Once a year, you take the fertilizer,Which can be already in a bag, and put it where you want. It is good for gardens, plants, trees and others.
Almost 90% of all toilet waste is water, the balance is organic material. The water is evaporated throught a vent to the outside, which reduces waste dramatically, and the rest is recycled into natural compost. There is also a variety of choices when you decide to purchase your environmental friendly toilet. Waterless self-contained, waterless remote or the low water remote system. After that choice, you need to select the power option. Non-electric, 12v battery or 120 v electric. All you need to do now is choose the color.
The waterless self-contained system is ideal for basements or where there is little or no room below the bathroom. It is a good option for winter-use primarly because of the lack of water use. The waterless remote system is ideal for the bathroom with the composting unit lecated directly below. For the low water remote system, you can have up to three low flush toilets connected to the composting unit located below the bathroom or on a side wall.
Having tried one of these composting toilets, there is absolutely no difference between this one and a conventional one. Well, there is one big difference actually. With these kind of toilets, you do not need a septic tank. You can save money and help the planet feel a little better.
