REVELATION!

Composting toilets are just like those cute air fresheners in asian people's cars, where the plastic character poops out used pellets.

What's so fascinating?

First, the poop. pellets. see the relation yet?

Second, the smell. in successful composting toilets, the bottom layers that are extracted to be used as fertilizer don't smell! (the poop has been broken down by microorganisms and becomes as good as good ol' dirt) in air fresheners, the small pellets that are pooped out don't smell! (they've released all their fresh smell)

Third, the poop/pellets break down over time (through some chemical process) in both cases, and the fresh poop/pellets push the old stuff out to some place for 'collection'. composting toilet: poop becomes compost. air freshener: the small pellets are scattered around the car.

Isn't that GREAT? This inspires me to build a composting toilet in the form of a cute asian animal character. any suggestions?

totoro? pikachu?
