Save money with every flush - very possible

The topic of composting toilets came up in a recent comment to an earlier post.

(“Ick,” you say.

Read on. It's not that bad.)

Because Old South is old and undergoing sewer upgrades at the moment, and will again in the future (and again, and infrastructure is expensive, and costs keep going up) I thought I’d ask the following questions:

Wouldn’t London save money and tonnes of fresh water in the long run if City Hall subsidized the installation of composting toilets in as many homes as possible?

Hasn’t the ‘ick’ factor been reduced to a bare minimum in newer models?

Wouldn’t toilet compost be very easy to return to the natural environment?

Composting toilets used to be the size of a small cottage but they’re much smaller now, right?

Shouldn’t we be doing what’s best for the environment than what we do now with every single flush?

Would you swim in the Thames River down stream from Greenway pollution plant?

Is Greenway a bit of a stretch?

Aren’t we wasting millions of liters of fresh water per day in London?

Is saving tonnes of money, conserving fresh water and helping the environment called a win-win-win?

So many good questions. I’m flushed with pride.
