Composting to Reduce Waste

What is composting?

It is the process of compiling organic material to be turned into mulch for use in gardens and landscaping.

I ran across this gadget the other night and think it makes a great solution for the more unpleasant aspects of collecting kitchen compost!

There are other ways to compost as well. . .

Composting toilets are an eco-friendly way to dispose of human waste, and come in units that very much resemble toilets as we know them. No septic systems to run, no sewer back-ups to worry about, or water lines needed! When sized correctly, they are the modern "clean" outhouse, and seldom have to be emptied.



A composting toilet can be "homemade" or sophisticated machines that resemble everyday toilets.









This choice may seem extreme to you, but luckily it IS a choice- available for those folks who choose to go this route!

I am working on a dream to build sustainable communities in my home town area and elsewhere. I have designed and drawn up several of these. I will follow these adventures in research through the blog and hopefully meet up with like-minded individuals along the way.
