Yet another potential option for flush - free sanitation
An organization named SOIL is helping communities in
Haiti by capturing their human waste and redirecting it
to boost food production and employment. They are
introducing their dry container - based toilets to homes
willing to pay $3 - 4 per month. The fee pays for
installation, m aintenance, and weekly pickups of the
waste, which is gathered at a central depot for transport to the countryside for composting. After nine
months the rich compost is sold to farmers and local companies who use it to grow food and reforest
much of the is land. Two SOIL staff members, Natalie Miller and Wisner Jean Louis say it's about
returning to the technology that humans have always had at their disposal but were too into flush toilets
to utilize. SOIL successfully brings our poop back into the game.
