Dry toilet advocates claim the devices have advantages but concede there is the issue of routine emptying of excrement from the toilets.

Maybe thee environmentalists can start an organization composed of volunteers from their ranks to do the emptying. It shouldn't really bother them, they are used to shoveling bulls... um, nevermind.

[Barn Owl]

This sounds like a bunch of crap to me.

Warnberg calls his toilet designs S.C.A.T., for Solar Composting Advanced Toilet.

Uh... Well... I guess there's not much you can really add to this save that the name pretty much conveys everything you need to know.

Time to buy more ammo.

Way back when, they were called "Honey Dippers". Good job for these whackos!

I want a toilet that flushes! When I have enough money, I hope to go to Canada and get one. Here is a simple suggestion of what we could do, however. Since the enviro-wackos have already immobilized most of our toilets anyway, we should use Clinton pots [formerly called chamber pots] and have a special, metal container to mass collect the waste. The container should be on sturdy wheels, possibly with a trailor hitch, because when it's close to full, we wheel the contents to the nearest enviro-wacko neighbor and allow our enviro-friendly neighbor to flush it for us. Our neighbor could even be paid what would normally go to the septic tank guy. But anyone who doesn't pay taxes can have the service for free.

One problem, cleaning up the Clinton pot. It's kind of like trying to cover up all the Clinton crimes. Something gets dirty in the smelly process.

Uups. You said it better and before me. Sorry. Fun thread. =]

The flush toilets mandated by the govt are a disaster. The mandated 1.6 gallon flush couldn't flush a rat turd down the toilet.
When I move I'm going to the Home Depot and buying a couple of new toilets and taking my old trusty 5 gallon flushers with me.

Environmentalists... snicker...

[johniegrad]

I have a better idea. Let's just eliminate running water.

It's one of the greatest public health advances in the modern era. It's not only convenient, but it is also safer" Avery told CNSNews.com. Avery said the public benefits from the lower incidence of diseases like cholera and typhoid since the widespread use of modern flush toilets and sewage treatment systems.

Affirmative. But a sewage treatment system is required, that is why there are a lot of diseases when they flush everything into the sea or into a river. A very effective way of spreading bugs.

Environmentalists can be flushed with the other crap.

What the enviro wackos ought to do to advance this is to supply free beer to men, as I am much more likely to pee in the bushes when drunk than when sober.

I just got two new Kohler's and they're great, even with the reduced water tank.....it seems that if you get a new model, scientifically designed for less water, it's works well....

Proponents of dry toilets, set to convene at the first annual international Dry Toilet 2003 conference

Now here's a group of people with waaaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands.

If I may share a story from my Boy Scout council here in Fort Worth, TX. At one of our main camps that is used for summer camps, we have latrines in each camp. These latrines are simply a big hole in the ground with thick concrete walls(so not to harm the water table) and a wooden shelter on top. Well these are honky dory for us boy scouts, but with parents night and with the increase number of women that now participate in the troops, we have flush toliets at the camp in various places. Of course the toliets that were installed are the 1.6gallon tanks. We had to put signs on the tanks of the toliets that read please hold handle down for ten seconds when flushing. This is due to that the kids not wanting to use the latrines anymore, would flush the toliets just like the 5gallon tanks back at home. Causing the toliets to clog up and little boys usually will not tell anybody about it. So more boys use it and use it, thus by the end of the week you have a toliet filled(if not over flowing) of excrement. Since the 1.6gal does not provide enough water, we found that this is remeded by holding the handle for at least ten seconds to allow enough water to flow through. Thus eliminating the whole purpose of the 1.6gal toliets.

We have not installed anymore flushing toliets in years, since we cannot get ahold of the 5gal toliets anymore. But the problem is that everybody wants the flushing toliets instead of the latrines.

At Big Bend National Park they have these dry toliets( I assume they are the same as is in this article) that is like a latrine, but has a solar panel that dries the box out and then a helicopter picks it up to be dumped out somewhere. This is great for outdoor places, but at home give me a break. I image this article is only the begining. you know they have been trying to get us to cut down on the number of showers to save water, this way we can be like the more sophisticated and highly cultured FRENCH!!!!

A waterless dry toilet, which generally costs about $2,000

Why is it whenever modern technology is removed from something, the price goes up? This dry toilet will be an ecological disaster when everyone figures out that storm sewers are a great place to dump their waste.

[LRS]

It's so clever. I jump in through the hole in the top.

"> I scratch all I want and the litter stays in. And oh... it's so private!

"> I jump out. The built-in tracking mat cleans my paws. How helpful!

And I'm off! I can't smell anything, can you?

should solve the problem.

Except it's a bit small for my tush...

The essay, written by Dave Keenan, details his problems with insects and odors that his dry toilet produced in his home.

Ummm, there's a reason that outhouses were built outside the home, dude.

Spot on as usual, the envirostalinists need to lead the way. In Michigan, Governor Jenny Mulhern has formed a committee to pontificate to the rest of us on the evils of "urban sprawl". The group includes former RINO governor Bill Milliken and other lefties. They want us all to move back to Detroit, Flint, and other decayed crime ridden corrupt cities. I wrote a letter to the leftist Detroit News suggesting that Mulhern, Milliken et al lead the way back to Detroit as an example to the rest of us. The News didn't print it of course.
