Loveable Loo - The Composting Toilet

Join me as I discuss the different options for bathroom facilities in a tiny house. Discover why I chose to go with a "Loveable Loo."

For more information about composting poo, I suggest the book Humanure Handbook by Joseph Jenkins. For pictures of the Loveable Loo and more information and resources on humanure, please visit the website http://humanurehandbook.com.    

Loveable Loo - The Composting Toilet

There are many things that I think about as I plan and create my tiny homestead. One of the most common questions I get is plumbing related. I explain how I will have a gravity fed water system with a supplemental pump for water pressure, how we will harvest rainwater and use grey water to water the gardens, but the one question that is most popular is how my toilet facilities work.

What?? No Toilet Paper??

Team Over vs Team Under

Sustainability. I hear this word thrown around a ton, but I am not convinced that people really can define just what sustainability is, let alone living a lifestyle that supports long-term sustainability. There are so many aspects of everyday life that have to be considered before sustainability can be a reality. I came across a post some time ago on another blog I follow that talked about Family Cloth. The blog was written by a lovely young lady who is into holistic health and sustainable living. I find it to be a real eye opener. What she blogged about on this particular day has resonated with me and made me consider an aspect of sustainability that I hadn't even considered before.
