@DoomsdaysCW Considering how petroleum intensive it is to make chemical fertilizer, this is a thing that at least *should* become important very soon. Getting people sold on something usually considered "gross" can be hard, though.

@Ashmire Heh. I get that! I've stayed at places that had composting toilets. Waste can be dealt with safely -- and locally. I like the idea of having separate systems for urine and poo (like urinals for everyone). The urine can be used in the garden, and the humanure can cook into something safer (not sure if I would use it in the garden, though, but at least it would break down).
