People are slowly beginning to realize that the world is not the way it was 75, 50 or even 20 years ago. The grass is not as green as before. The water is not as sweet and pure as it was then.
With the addition of chemicals to almost everything we consume today, many people’s immune systems have been weakened and their ability to fight germs has been compromised. With droughts becoming more frequent, everyone should start thinking about the environment and how it affects us all.
One way to conserve water, help improve soil regeneration, and produce biodegradable fuel is to start using green toilets. There are many different types of ecological toilets. Two of these are the incinerating toilet and the composting toilet.
In the incinerator toilet, the waste is burned. No water is needed, and there is no smell. The remaining ash is simply thrown away with the other garbage. This process does not produce any useful product.
Composting toilets compact solid waste. Liquids and solids are separated to allow efficient and natural decomposition. The composted solids can be used as fertilizer.
A squat toilet is basically a hole in the floor, over which you crouch down to relieve yourself. The process is quite hygienic as there is no need to touch the toilet to use it. And it is also quite easy to keep it hygienic.
There are several websites where you can get more information about these eco-friendly toilets:
1) EHow.com – Simply search this site for “green toilets.” There are several articles that will explain what a green toilet is, how it works, its economic value, its impact on the environment, and how easy it is to install.
2) SexyGreenHouse.com – Despite the humorous name, this site looks at how past and present administrations are pushing us toward greater environmental awareness. While the green toilet is not the solution to all environmental problems, it will certainly be a step in the right direction.
Green toilets help reduce germs and turn waste into an alternative fuel. Little or no water is used in this process, depending on the type of toilet. And the good news is that by installing an eco-friendly toilet, you’re helping to move this country in the right environmental direction.
