This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Waste Streams.
Are you ready for a sticky subject? You guessed it, it's poop. Instead of wasting fresh water to send those turds to a septic or sewer, let's compost them in a humanure composting system!
This BB and a few adjacent to it fully influenced by Joseph Jenkens' The Humanure Handbook edition 4. Joseph is a wonderful man who posted the book on his website for any who can't buy it. I'd highly recommend it and, if you're short on time, look at chapter 14 The Tao of Compost.
Here's Joseph visiting a festival using compost toilets and a composting system:
Minimum requirements:
- Create a humanure experience for a fair, festival or similar type of large event where there wasn't one before
- At least 200 people for 6 hours
- At least 3 stalls with compost toilets (containers, seat, cover materials, etc)
- Composting pile on site
- Signage in stalls explaining the system
- Help/volunteers are allowed to move containers and build composting pile
- Must follow the Humanure Handbook philosophy
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- Stalls for patrons to use
- Signage and supplies in a stall
- Compost pile ready for use at the start of the event
- Adding materials to the pile during the event
- Finished pile at the end of the event
