Sewerage: What a Waste!

Sewerage is probably one of the single largest polluters and users of
water around. On average, around a quarter of a cities budget is
dedicated to removing our waste, and generally not even treating it
effectively. The cost of dams and water reticulation is extra.

A few of us in Brisbane Australia have installed composting toilets
(Nature-Loo's) in our inner suburban homes for serious trials to prove
that they are a viable alternative to the large scale sewerage
infrastructure. What we have done is illegal because the law says that we
have to connect, which is really saying that we have to pollute. Legal
action hasn't happened as yet.

We will soon be documenting our actions and results on the Nature-Loo web
page at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~natloo
At present the web page has lots of info and photos about composting
toilets.

Love to hear from anyone that is doing anything along these lines.

Cheers,
Keith
