I know quite a bit about composting toilets and other primitve methods of dealing with human waste. This unattractive subject is of vital importance should water or sewage run into problems, for whatever reason. Not only have I studied the subject, but have lived with primitive "outhouse" situations many times over the course of my life. I could post some observations and advice here, or people interested could freepmail me. One of the main causes of disease is human waste not taken care of properly. I know someone who lived in SF at the time of the Loma Linda earthquake, and he said people were pooping in bathtubs, filling up non-functioning toilets, etc.

Unless someone lives in a tiny studio apartment, there are good, clean and simple methods that just take a little preparation. Plastic bags are better than nothing, but not a good longterm solution, and eventually you run out of bags, and then you have to figure out what to do with them.

Those of us who have had long periods of electricity loss know that without electricity our wells will pump no water. Point well made.
