The Bathroom Reinvented: Virginia Gardiner - Videos - Dwell

Industrial designer and London–based Dwell contributor Virginia Gardiner shares the ins and outs of her low-cost, low-tech concept for a waterless toilet system.
There's a couple of flaws in the what she describes the system on the blackboard since she's implying that it's a closed self sustaining system. It isn't really. The amount of gas that I use to power my stove is really minimal.

There are many cultures that already burn cow dung and other waste products in this manner, so what she's proposing again doesn't seem all that revolutionary.

What do you think?

Royal horse shit! I wonder if it would ever catch on.

I like her thought process where she sees the waste we produce as something we 'contribute' to the planet and can be put to good use. My only concern with her loowatt idea is, at some point, it has to be cleaned. Are you going to do it?

Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.

And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

^^ I agree.

First off, I think Vmeo sucks. But back on topic.

I disapprove of my poop being used for those purposes. I'm all for treating it in sewers and flushing it away to a world I must never know of. I do not endorse this product mainly because of it's biodegradable nature of composition. First off, no, I don't want to clean it. Secondly, I don't want a poop made pooping machine.

Just gross.
