Two Enviromental Whacko stories for y’all today. This first one speaks for itself.
Flush Toilets Called ‘Environmental Disaster’: “Forget the convenience and sanitation of the flush toilet, which industrialized nations have enjoyed for most of the past century. A growing number of environmentalists are now advocating the expanded use of compost or dry toilets worldwide to combat what they see as an international water crisis. Proponents of dry toilets, set to convene at the first annual international Dry Toilet 2003 conference in Tampere, Finland, August 20-23, warn of “environmental disaster” if developing nations aspire to flush toilets so prevalent in the industrialized world. Critics of the upcoming conference say the widespread use of dry toilets in the developing world is nothing more than a “celebration of primitivism” and call the flush toilet the “greatest public health advance in the modern era.”“

Why do they think “dry toilets” will work in developing countries? I guess they’d rather have open sewers running alongside dirt roads into the same river people get their drinking water from. Developing countries will never be able to find the money to buy these “port-a-johns.” Are they willing to privately fund one toilet each for every village in Africa? I don’t think so.
