Damn! I never knew!

Interesting subject. I am not sure how practical this is for the normal bathroom goer. I for one am not really the type of person that would enjoy going poop in a shack but i would if it saved the enviroment!

Really interesting. Maybe next time we can see the producer in the piece, relaying what it's like to "dry poop" in the composting toilet. Hilarious. Also, maybe more of a backstory/story structure could be added, and all the good stuff that's in the description and in scrolling words could be explained in the story, instead of written. But GL b/c I thought it was funny!

This is definitely something people should learn more about, but I don't think the video is very great. More about the negative effects of normal waste systems on the environment, how this will improve things, how the composting actually does something different than a normal port-a-potty or cesspool, etc.

I'm with you bissella however, the short and sweet nature of the piece has its draw. I think I might have chosen a way cushier specimen as most non-rural folks may have some discomfort issues with outhouses of any kind. I liked it.
(I guess you guys don't have perc problems in New Mexico.)-

Wow...groovy hippie toilet.
I like the brief, yet important message in this piece, however, I'd like to see someone with scientific noteriety speak on behalf of the composting toilet. I would also like to know what the plan for urination is. As much as we would all love to just "dry poop" in the composting potty, and pee where ever we want, it kind of sounds like an unrealistic pipe dream.
Also, some explanation as to the urban application of this device would be helpful. As much as some of us would like to see cities torn down and the Mother Earth taken care of absolutely, we all know that will never happen.
Another problem I have with this toilet is that this stuff breaks down and becomes compost over a manor of years, for one use? Cities create lots and lots of sewage. I suppose a good argument for this would be that you could hire people to collect this poo and take it to a compost field. Isn't that creating more ecconomical and environmental strain? Now we're hiring extra people as waste collectors and spending money on equipment and vehicles. That's the ecconomic waste, then we're driving this waste out of the city to a compost heap which is wasting fossil fuel and polluting the environment. The one plus is that now furniture dealers can save their sawdust and create a new market out of selling that to homes and offices.
I'm certain you have a collected argument and a set of facts to back this thing up, and blow away my argument, and I'd love to see them.
I realize that this comment seems pretty negative, but I'm just trying to see the whole picture. On the plus side however, this was an interesting interview which was well shot.-

i think this is a good topic, but i need some context for it starting with where you are

Did you wash your hands? I think a little more subject would help like actually seeingg the people use the "product" for their plants. I also wondered if the structure was made for the "product".
