When people are used to flush toilets their whole lives they do not realize what would happen when all of a sudden the flushing works no more.
My hub was in SF during the Loma Prieta EQ. No water, no plumbing. There was human excrement EVERYWHERE and I mean EVERYWHERE. People were filling up their damn BATH TUBS. He knew because he was a contractor and plumbers told him this afterwards. There was crap all over sidewalks, all over Golden Gate park. etc.
If people had some forethought, at least some of the filth could have been avoided. Of course it wasn’t for that long. Now imagine weeks, or months. Terrible diseases happen.
Fortunately or for some reason I’ve lived without flush toilets in at least 4 different locations, for a total of years. I’ve used many different kinds. Humanure is the best method of all. Cleanliness is vital not just for physical health but for mental peace. Living in real filth is exceedingly demoralizing.
