YUCK!!! However, if there are those who want to do that let them have at it. I try to do some things to go green. We have a very small garden, we conserve energy as much as possible, we have new faucets that conserve water as well as our toilets, our children bathe together (when possible) we recycle. There are many things that can be done, but still that toilet...that grosses me out! We went to this website to get our water conservation products...take a look. http://www.niagaraconservation.com/ Yeah, I don’t think I could ever do a composting toilet. YUCK!!!

We did have drinking water stored, but no shower and *gasp* no toilet flushing. A composting toilet could have come in very handy at this moment. Thankfully, family lives in the building next door, so we used their bathroom. Admittedly though toilets are a big water waster and not generally "green." Their dependence on high volumes of water is pretty volatile as far as green sustainability is concerned.
