Prepper projects: How to build a composting toilet
by Zoey Sky

(Natural News) Preppers who live off grid or in an area that is frequently affected by natural disasters should prioritize waste management. If you’re worried about a long-term disruption of municipal utilities, learn how to build a composting toilet. (h/t to PreppersWill.com)

There are three common varieties of toilets: siphon-jet flush valve toilets, pressurized tank toilets and gravity flow toilets. However, these toilets require a lot of water to function and flush waste properly into a sewer system that dumps all the waste in different locations.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans flush down about 4.8 billion gallons of water in toilets every day. This wastes a lot of water, which is unfortunate since many countries can’t constantly access water unlike the United States.

Consider using ultra-low-flow (ULF) models for your home or property if you want to save water. Replacing all toilets in the country with 1.6-gallon-per flush ULF models can help each person save about 5,500 gallons of water per year.

Another great option is a composting toilet, which requires little to no water to function. Before you install a composting toilet, check state and local regulations regarding proper handling methods.
