I recently spent some time travelling in Central America and one of the things you learn quickly while visiting these countries is that their plumbing is not as great as it is in the U.S. You definitely do not flush the toilet paper in the toilet. It's actually not common to even find toilet paper in the bathrooms. You have to be prepared with your own, just in case. I was getting very used to the drill. I stepped into the bathroom of an eco-lodge on the island of Ometepe, Nicaragua with all that in mind and prepared, but something looked a little different.
This is a composting toilet - no flushing required. What a great way to conserve water and get some natural fertilizer. :) Let me know if you end up replacing your toilet at home with one of these.
