Sadly it will probably take something like this before most people consider using a composting toilet, which requires no connecting infrastructure, is not dependent on water pressure or electricity, never clogs or spills over or fails to flush, uses byproducts to stay sanitary, gives you fertilizer after 6 months, and unlike its cousin the portapotty does not smell offensive or use harsh chemicals.
most people* live in apartments and have no way of using composting toilets. i'm not going to occupy my balcony with several buckets of slowly decaying poop and sawdust
Just short of 40% of American households are renters; it's harder to get stats on whether they're house rentals or apartmebt rentals.
We're going to have to completely redesign the built environment anyway in the {Green Leap Forward|literally just surviving climate change}.
it's so awesome that we went from my grandparents generation using communal dry toilets in the yard behind the apartment building to my parents generation using indoor toilets that flush ridiculous amounts of clean drinking water down the drain, back to communal dry toilets behind the apartment building in my lifetime
composting toilets are cool but i've only used them in the countryside where they've been surrounded by fresh air and shared by a few people in total. urban public composting toilets are going to be interesting
skill issue
I haven't had that happen to me in the last 10+ years of using flush toilets, but I don't live alone and other people are going to make mistakes.
No need to turn the problem of opaque and proprietary technology into a case of victim blaming. Take control of your means of existence with technology you can easily understand and replicate for yourself, that doesn't put you at the mercy of the bourgeoisie.
Shit in a bucket* and flush with a cup of sawdust, it'll change your life.
*Or a sheltered trench, or preferably a latrine with two seasonal storage compartments.
oh no, clogs happen, i meant overflowing a composting toilet is something you can do if you try hard enough and eat poorly enough.
