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 try to turn them into food!

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 one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Build a cabinet to enclose a bucket or receptacle for later relocation to a humanure composting system
  - May be wood, plywood or metal
  - Includes a "normal" toilet seat and lid
  - Holds 3 to 10 gallons of material

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Materials you'll build the cabinet from
  - Construction underway
  - Finished compost toilet cabinet
