Default The bio-toilet

This toilet is awesome, it uses wood chips and collected rain water, has a heated seat and no odor! I would love to have one at home.

Check out this short video from CNN,

The Aquasol is one that is available. I know a lot of people are using it in the bush up in Alaska, but I have yet to personally see or use one. Seems like they are very efficient and long-lasting.

Now remember that you started this thread oviedostyle,so anything that follows is on your CV

In the 1800's in Edinburgh you had to be quick to get out of the way if you heard the shout "Gardi Loo" for this would be followed by a nasty bucket of poo being thrown from an upper window in the tall elegant buildings.That was the way of disposing of sewage at the time .Itwas ,I believe swept up but maybe someone near there can confirm that in many streets the s**t rose to first floor level and that many buildings have an entrance at the back which is 1 floor below current street level to the front.

I do not like the new versions of the earth systems due to patents and I will come back to this later.Some one please kick my coffin later to remind me.
