I live in a high-rise condo. Suggestions?
if its yellow – let it mellow, if its brown – flush it down.
The real problem isn’t really the water as much as it is the waste of the value as fertilizer. Water limitations are merely another name for failed energy policy. Given low cost energy from sources like utility scale solar thermal you can create water anywhere anytime simply by extracting it from the atmosphere. So, the “water shortage” is really just an energy shortage.
But the concept of a flush toilet is problematic not just because of the water issue. It’s also about a lack of stewardship for the powerful fertilizer that exists in excrement. An excellent introduction to the topic is available by searching for the term “humanure”.
Damn it, environmentalists. First you make littering uncool, now I might have to stop flushing? get jobs, you unhygenic simpletons!
i dont get it. What is the alternative to a flush toilet?? If you do not flush it away and it sits in a hole then you have major sewage problems right beneath your home….
@ A.Sceptic: Thank you for your comment. I recommend large ziplock bags with the special seal lock.
@ Jobob: Thank you for your comment.
You got the idea.
@ checkoutthemanure: Thank you for your comments.
Humanure” is a neologism designating human excrement (feces and urine) that is recycled via composting for agricultural or other purposes. The term was popularized by The Humanure Handbook, a 1994 book by Joseph Jenkins that advocates the use of this organic soil amendment. Humanure is not traditional sewage that has been processed by waste-treatment facilities, which may include waste from industrial and other sources; rather, it is the combination of feces and urine with paper and additional carbon material (such as sawdust).
I urinate into plastic milk jugs. When they are full I take them outside and dump them on the lawn. I doubt that the contents soak through more than 6 inches of dirt. No water wasted.
Here in eastern Canada water falls from the sky roughly half the year. Rivers and lakes pour into the ocean day after day. We have snowfall from December to May, and we flush with abandon.
Has anyone heard of Dr. John Todd, Bioneer. University of Vermont, Living Machines, Constructed Wetlands, Man-made bogs, purify the water with plants and snails. Keyword Oceanarks. I have been reading about this for 20 years. The technology is there. Onsite wastewater treatment. It works. Outer Space technology.
@ Don’t touch the rim: Thanks for your comments. Do you rinse or recycle your gallon jugs before reusing?
@ DeanofHealth: Thanks for your comments. Surely, you do not want to use the crapper under your house.
@ dirk shirtington: Thanks for your comments. Just letting you know what is happening to the flushing circle in Australia. Why do you think I am a simpleton?
@ John: Thanks for your comments. Sounds like you live in a great place.
@ Carole B. Clarke: Thanks for the informative comments. CG will check this out.
Dr. John Todd was associated with LIVING MACHINES.
They had an office in Burlington, Vt. when I lived there. Vermont has backward zoning regs. He has purified waste of cheese factories, hops from a brewery, some place in Scotland, resorts, and the Vermont roadside rest area on an Interstate Highway. I saw their greenhouse used for his study with the city wastewater that ran out of funding. It was like a jungle. He had tanks, screens midway, roots dangling into the wastewaters which flowed from tank to tank. Finally it was tested more pure than believable. Yet, it is undiscovered old technology. He has written two books.. both of mine were stolen. Can’t remember titles.
@ Carole B. Clarke: Hello Carole and thanks for your additional comments. I Goggled Dr. John Todd and there was a wealth of information about Dr. Todd. His technology for cleaning wastewater from sewage is just fantastic. If only a few other town and cities got the message. Might do a post about Dr. Todd on CG.
Thanks again for your information.
Compost it. There are books that tell you how. When it’s done right, the heat will kill all pathogens.
interesting post toilet
You are a coward, Steve. It is that simple.
@ A Sceptic: The comment I made earlier was meant to be funny. This post on flushing was meant to be a funny and enjoyable read. I did not make the comment to be a jerk. Unfortunately, several people made comments that were full of cuss works and I deleted these comments. Trust you enjoyed the post and will continue to be a reader of Chemically Green.
@ Jack Nimble: Thank your for your comments Jack. Why do you say I am a coward?
I’ve been responding because this is a serious issue. I am in favor of the constructed wetland, man made bog, etc. method as well as composting toilets (not great for cities) but what is chemicallygreen recommending? Are you selling chemical toilets that are biodegradable? I found the title of Dr. John Todd’s book. Your post was informative and not funny.

You just need to make a system where the rain water gets stored somewhere and is used to flush your toilet. There already are some houses that use this system. Implement it in every house, problem solved!
Arcata California has or used to have an event called “Flush with Pride”. They are all about habitat , wetlands, and wastewater treatment utilizing the constructed wetland/man=made bog idea. I don’t know why people can’t just pre-treat onsite. Also I know of a company that had a tank and mechanics called the Scat or something like that. Catching rainwater is great and doing gardens is great but the system called “Living Machine” is really what needs to be talked about and implemented.
Okay, here is Dry Toilet from Finland. Different concept. http://www.drytoilet.org/

Just a shot in the dark, but are you single?
@Mike: Thank u for your comments. U could have a few problems when urinating into plastic jugs. U need to use a wide mouth jug and if u continue to dump urine on your lawn, will eventually decompose to ammonia and the high pH could kill your lawn. Best of luck with your recycling program.
