| Summary: | From the author of The Humanure Handbook, an expert guide to compost toilets you can build yourself. The Compost Toilet Handbook is an illustrated instructional manual explaining how to make, use and manage compost toilets, which are waste-free toilets that rely on the biological process of composting to recycle toilet material. It is based on the author's forty plus years of first-hand experience with "composting as a sanitation alternative." The 254-page indexed book has 161 pages of color photos including 203 photos or illustrations from 13 countries where compost toilet systems are in use. The second half of the book includes case study reviews of compost toilet projects in African prisons and schools, Haitian schools, orphanages and villages, schools in Mozambique, neighborhoods in Mongolia, a school and village in Nicaragua and an ecovillage in the United States. Along with the nuts and bolts of compost toilet construction, use and management, the book covers emergency preparedness, cold weather composting, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, health and safety. |
