The Importance of Composting Toilets
Most of us haven never even heard of a dry toilet...
Composting Toilets Exist Are Toilets Without Water
Only in the middle of nowhere did I find out one of the greatest and most important bits of information of all time:
I learned that feces and urine degrade naturally into high-quality soil called humus.
Never in my life — even after studying at a top university in the United States — had I ever come across this: that poo and pee naturally degrade into a nutrient-dense kind of soil.
Additionally, because soil erosion is a pressing problem worldwide, our agricultural system desperately needs to nourish topsoil with top-quality compost such as humus.
Humus is a nutrient-dense food that is ideal for food crops and medicinal plants. Humus makes plants strong and packs them with microminerals and enzymes.
💩 A Composting Education:
The fact that, after attending a prep school and a top university, I had never even heard about the importance of composting organic matter gets me thinking:
Are we learning what really matters? Anyway.. some call humus holy shit, others call it black gold. It’s that valuable.
To understand the unimaginable importance of humus and composting our organic residue, I recommend reading this ultimate eye-opening book:
The Humanure Handbook: Shit in A Nutshell, now in its 4th edition, was written by Joseph Jenkins from Pennsylvania. This invaluable book is written in a friendly format and filled with shocking information.
The Humanure Handbook: Shit in a Nutshell has been translated into over 20 languages and has won several awards.
This life-changing bombshell opens our eyes to one of the most important truths of all time.
Humans and other Earth creatures are born with the natural ability to generate the single most important resource — high-quality soil.
💩 Give Joe a read to learn the essentials of an important education.
Stay attuned,
