This is one of the main stories on today's New York Times on-line version: The Miracle Toilet - Video Library - The New York Times

It is not only entertaining but also quite relevant to the current situation in the DR since cholera is cropping up in places where it was not expected--until you see the side bar describing how the authorities have dismantled letrines built OVER the main canal!!!! OMG!!!

Can?t open the video but if it is about a compost toilet. This isn?t a new idea in fact i?m going to construct one next year. far more healthy than the traditional toilet and correct if you consider the ?law of return?

I was reading that the were still using outhouses with collection buckets in Brisbane into the 70s. From the pictures, it looks like there was a path or road to do the collections.
