  • SANITATION by COMPOSTING Sanitation Developed in Post-Earthquake Haiti in 2010 and 2011 by Givelove.Org
    SANITATION BY COMPOSTING Sanitation developed in post-earthquake Haiti in 2010 and 2011 by GiveLove.org. An abbreviated version of this paper was submitted to the International Perspectives on Water and the Environment 2012 Conference in Marrakesh, Morocco. Joseph Jenkins, September 20, 2011 President, Joseph Jenkins, Inc., 143 Forest Lane, Grove City, PA 16127 USA [email protected]; CompostSanitation.com ABSTRACT: Compost toilets can take many forms. One such toilet, the “humanure” toilet, is designed to simply collect and re- cycle human excreta, which includes fecal material, urine and toilet paper, along with a carbon-based cover material, via an odor-free, heat-producing organic mass. The organic compost mass is created away from the toilet in a separate compost bin, not in the toilet itself. The thermophilic and aging phases in the compost bin render the organic material hygienically safe by destroying pathogenic organisms. The final product, humus, is excellent for growing food. Because the toilets themselves are not utilized either for the composting process or for storage of toilet material, they are inexpensive and simple in design and implementation. They recycle organic materials and do not produce or dispose of waste. They create no environmental pollution when properly managed. They require no piped water, no electricity, no venting, no hole in the ground and no drain. When managed correctly, they do not breed flies or produce unpleasant odors and can therefore be located indoors, even in intimate settings. They can

The decisions are ours and we have to search our minds and souls for the right answers..." "The real significance of wilderness is a cultural matter. It is far more than hunting, fishing, hiking, camping or canoeing; it has to do with the human spirit." —Sigurd F. Olson ...and so we visit wild places to discover ourselves, to let our spirits run with the graceful canoe and journey through the beckoning forests. The wilderness is good for us. It enables us to discover who we really are, and to explore who we are really meant to be. It is the nature of wild places that gives us the space to slow the pace of our lives, to becalm the storms of everyday life, to gain perspective on the things we truly value. Sigurd Olson needed wild places...they gave much to him, as they do to us—and, so, we should be eager to give back. Our favorite places— those whose forests have welcomed us, whose lakes have refreshed us, whose sunsets have inspired awe—are not ours alone. They are a treasured resource, there for the good of all who seek their own true spirit through solitude and adventure.

  • Humanure Sanitation the “No Waste, No Pollution, Nothing to Dispose Of” Toilet System
    Humanure Sanitation The “no waste, no pollution, nothing to dispose of” toilet system. Author: Joseph Jenkins, Joseph Jenkins, Inc., 143 Forest Lane, Grove City, PA 16127 USA; [email protected]; http://www.humanurehandbook.com ABSTRACT: Humanure toilets are designed to collect human excreta, including fecal material and urine together without separation, along with a carbon (plant cellulose-based) cover material, for the purpose of achieving an odor-free thermophilic (heat-producing) organic mass. The thermophilic phase renders the organic material hygienically safe by destroying pathogenic organisms, thereby creating a final product, humus, which is suitable for growing food. These toilets are inexpensive and very simple in design and implementation. They do not produce or dispose of waste and they create no environmental pollution. This study looks at various humanure systems in the United States. KEYWORDS: compost toilet, humanure, Joseph Jenkins, sanitation, thermophilic Introduction: What is "Humanure Sanitation"? The humanure sanitation system is a compost toilet system designed and intended to promote the thermophilic composting of human excrement. Human excreta, including fecal material and urine, are not considered waste materials that need to be disposed of. Instead, they are considered resource materials that must be recycled and reclaimed for reuse. When properly used and managed, a humanure toilet system requires virtually no water, produces no waste, creates no environmental pollution, attracts no flies, costs very little, requires no urine diversion, and produces no odor. Instead of waste, the toilet produces humus, a valuable resource that can safely grow food for human beings. It can be constructed for very little money or no money at all if recycled materials are used.

  • WASH MHM Resource Guide 2015.Pdf
    Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene and Menstrual Hygiene Management: A Resource Guide WASH Advocates December 2015 Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) play a large role in the lives of adolescent girls and women, both biologically and culturally. Gender equity becomes an issue when women and girls lack access to WASH facilities and appropriate hygiene education, affecting a girl’s education, sexual and reproductive health, and dignity. Lack of adequate facilities and materials for menstrual hygiene has been linked to absenteeism of girls from school during their periods.1 Many may permanently drop out of school with the onset of puberty if the toilet facilities are not clean or do not provide privacy to girls while they are menstruating.2 Menstruation is a taboo subject in many cultures and can create stigma, shame, and silence among young girls, which often continues into adulthood and perpetuates the cycle of gender inequality. Around the world, girls try to keep their menstruation a secret while they are in school. Without adequate sanitation facilities, girls are unable to manage their menstruation safely, hygienically, and with dignity and will be unlikely to use the facilities if there is no guarantee to privacy. Due to social and WASH-related issues, many girls choose to stay home during their menstruation instead of having to manage their period at school.3 Other times, girls do attend school but face challenges such as leakage, odor, discomfort, or difficulty concentrating. When child-friendly educational programs that raise awareness about menstrual hygiene management (MHM) are coupled with safe, private, and single-gender sanitation facilities; an accessible water supply; and a means for safe disposal of menstrual waste, they can help alleviate the burden girls face at school during menstruation.4 Access to these facilities at home and at health clinics is also important to allow women and girls a safe means to manage their menstruation at all times.

However, menstrual hygiene products widely receive separate treatment in restrooms across the globe. While it would be absurd today to carry a roll of toilet paper at all times, it is considered necessary and common sense for all menstruators to carry menstrual hy- giene products at all times, for approximately forty years, in case of an emergency.

    BU 17-01-01 BULLETIN: IDENTIFICATION OF SINGLE–USER TOILET FACILITIES AS ALL–GENDER: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Division of the State Architect (DSA) documents referenced within this publication are available DSA Publications webpages. PURPOSE: This bulletin is a supplement to BU 17-01: Identification of Single-User Toilet Facilities as All- Gender and is provided to assist facility operators and design professionals who design facilities under the jurisdiction of DSA in interpreting the requirements of Health and Safety Code (HSC) 118600. DISCUSSION: HSC 118600 requires: a) All single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or state or local government agency shall be identified as all-gender toilet facilities by signage that complies with Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, and designated for use by no more than one occupant at a time or for family or assisted use. b) During any inspection of a business or a place of public accommodation by an inspector, building official, or other local official responsible for code enforcement, the inspector or official may inspect for compliance with this section. c) For the purposes of this section, “single-user toilet facility” means a toilet facility with no more than one water closet and one urinal with a locking mechanism controlled by the user. d) This section shall become operative on March 1, 2017. FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: In applying this statute to existing facilities, how does HSC section 118600 reconcile with the provisions in the California Building Standards Code (CBSC)? According to Assembly analysis: Assembly Bill 1732 does not change existing laws with respect to the number of, specifications for, or other facility requirements for restrooms that a business or entity must comply with under the existing CBC or current local ordinances, but changes the restroom identification and availability of use.

  • Toilet-Etiquette.Pdf
    RESTROOMS AND SANITATION REQUIREMENTS Common sense and logical rules of restroom and office kitchen manners CONSIDERATIONS Primary Rule: Be Hygienic – ALWAYS– Clean up your own mess! General Guidelines: Check that the stall has sufficient toilet paper before using it. If you use the last role let maintenance know so that it can be replaced. Lock the door while using the toilet. Squat only on squatting toilets, pedestal toilets are for sitting on only. Flushing use: NEVER forget to use Flush Once You Are Done. Do not hesitate to call Physical Plant if the flush is not working. Consider a courtesy flush(s). It never hurts to have one last look to make sure the evidence is gone. It should disappear, just like all our unwanted stuff. To that place called “AWAY." Do not light matches to hide smells. CONSIDERATION, Cont’d Feminine hygiene products and baby wipes should not be flushed down the toilet but be wrapped and disposed of in a disposal unit which is properly lined with plastic or wax paper bags. If you are female please remain seated while doing your business. If you are a male try to stand as close to the toilet seat as possible to avoid wetting the seat. If you are a male do leave a gap between yourself and the person in the next stall. Prevent ‘Shy bladder syndrome’ for others. If you are a male keep eyes focused to the wall. Minimize chit chat. A grunt of acknowledgement is ok when entering the restroom. Wash your hands thoroughly after your business – whatever it is.
