You know how everyone is green these days and is composting? Well, yes this is going where you think it is, poop is probably a good compostable. The problem, as hopefully you already realize is that nobody wants to do anything gross. That goes for composting as well. It can be gross.
It shouldn't be. We're smarter than that.
So, what I purpose is something that doesn't use water (wasteful), doesn't cause you to have to smell anything, but gets your waste (personal and household) away from you and into a central location for deteriorating.
I mean, I'm not sure where the science comes from on this one, but there has to be a way in this day and age to release your bodily waste in some way that is equally pleasing (eg doesn't require you to see it for very long) but doesn't waste water and does become the new soil for veggies and the like to grow (yeah, gross, but life I guess). Maybe there could be some sort of airlock chamber between you and your toilet and the composting bin. So that you went, hit a button and it leaves your general view and then goes on with its own life.
I'm sure it could be done in a really classy and low energy way. I dunno. Just seems like our waste is probably more of a waste than it needs to be because we don't like it. And I think we are ingenious enough to go on not liking it and not dealing with it and still put it to some good use.
Sorry to be gross.
