Ecological compost toilets based on the "hot compost" method developed in post-earthquake Haiti in 2010 and 2011 by GiveLove.org.

GiveLove.org - "When you work on improving sanitation, like we do in Haiti, you start to really see the big picture. Sanitation is the keystone to solving so many problems in the world-- improving public health, reducing child mortality, recycling and reducing waste, and protecting water resources -- and yet no one is really talking about the problem of untreated sewage or the fact that 40 % of the world’s poorest people live without a toilet. The global community needs to commit resources to finding sustainable solutions.”

WHAT IS ECOLOGICAL SANITATION ?

Ecological Sanitation is a bold new approach to sanitation and resource management that recognizes the importance of recycling.

Eco-san is a low-cost management practice that enables the complete or partial recovery of nutrients found in common household waste such as greywater, food scraps, and human excreta (urine and feces).

Through a process of containment, sanitization, and recycling, these organic products can be re-used safely to rebuild soil, prevent pollution of water resources, and increase agricultural productivity.

There are many different approaches to eco-sanitation and different kinds of compost toilets, but all of these systems offer exciting alternatives for people living without any sanitation at all.

OUR SANITATION WORK IN HAITI ?

Most people don’t know that you can safely treat and recycle human urine and feces (Humanure) by composting it. Ecological Sanitation recognizes the value in recycling the valuable nutrients in all organic matter, and protecting scarce resources like water and soil.

Joseph Jenkins Slide Presentation of Haiti Work

Uploaded by jcjenkins01 on Feb 13, 2011
This "Compost Sanitation" presentation was delivered at the U. S. Compost Council 2011 conference in Santa Clara, California by Joseph Jenkins. It has been condensed to 15 minutes due to YouTube restrictions. It outlines the compost sanitation work Jenkins did with Sasha Kramer's SOIL (OurSoil.org) and Patricia Arquette's GiveLove.org in Haiti with Joseph Jenkins  in 2010. It shows how to make toilets that do not create odors, attract flies, or pollute the environment in any way, nor do they require water, electricity or unreasonable expense. The "humanure toilet" concept is based on Jenkins book, The Humanure Handbook.

Loveable Loo® Toliet Construction

The Loveable Loo® is a toilet designed to make compost. It does not require water, electricity, vents, plumbing, wires, pipes or urine separation. It is an essential component in a very simple process in which "humanure" is recycled by composting in compost bins separate from the toilet. This video shows how we make the Loo, which is available at LoveableLoo.com

Loveable Loo® Toliet Assembly

The Loveable Loo is an inexpensive waterless, odorless compost toilet that requires no electricity, vents, plumbing, pipes or urine separation. It can be bought in an unfinished flat-pack kit form that requires some assembly. This video shows the simple operation of how to put the kit together.

Joe Jenkins went to Mongolia in 2006 (three times) to teach the people how to make compost toilets, also known as "humanure toilets." This short video clip shows a few random scenes from the first trip.

This story proves the power of an individual to help change the world to be a better place!  ... Monte & Eileen Hines
