If you brought up the subject of composting toilets with most people in North America, you would very likely be greeted with blank stares or perhaps smirks. Nevertheless, composting toilet systems are a solution to deal with human waste and they have been in use throughout civilizations since the dawn of time. Only in very recent history has modern plumbing displaced the use of this method of managing the waste produced by humans.
There are several ways that you can recycle and preserve the natural goods of the earth, and backyard composting is one of them. This process is the way that nature recycles, and the result of this method is ‘compost’, which is a dark soil. Microorganisms like fungi and bacteria are used to make compost, and you can create this soil in your own backyard.
