6/13    Probably a longshot, but I'll ask anyway.  Anybody know of a system
        for reclaiming "greywater" (kitchen/bathroom sink water) for use in
        watering lawns and plants?  I searched the web and all I could find
        was big greywater treatment plants.  I was thinking of something
        small for an single house to use.
        \_ get a bucket.  Fill from sink.  Pour on lawn.  Repeat as necessary.
           \_ "That's not greywater."
           \_ If you want whitewater, put the bucket under a Soda users desk.
        \_ That's pretty disgusting.  Don't feed anyone from your garden.
           \_ Dumbass. Ever think where any given molecule in your body
              comes from? I'll guarantee you that 99.99% are at least 10-th
              generation manure
                \_ I'm not concerned with where a particular molecule was 2
                   billion years ago.  A molecule, by it's nature is not
                   filthy or diseased.  Would you care to drink my piss?  I'm
                   sure some of those molecules come from the purist spring
                   waters.  You're pretty much just an idiot.  I feel for you.

           if you're serious about this stuff
           i know some hippie households that have implemented a greywater
           system to water their plants with water from the washing machine
           and bathtub - danh

        'Russia's largest circulation newspaper, Komsomolskaya Pravda, ran a
        headline on July 31 that asked, "Is the Russian heat wave the result
        of the USA testing its climate weapon?" The daily's answer was "Yes,
        probably."'
        Yeah, let us use our climate weapon on the California climate so that

10/5    Make sure to watch The Crumbling of America on History today! America's
        infrastructure is collapsing. Tens of thousands of bridges are
        structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. A third of the
        nation's highways are in poor or mediocre shape. Massively leaking
        water and sewage systems are creating health hazards and
        contaminating rivers and streams.

More to come, Kev November 2002 - WOCT has a new look and a sponsor! If you want to have a look at the range of Envirolet systems on offer, just click on their logo at the top left. The aim of the site is to present information on composting toilets so that persons in all countries have the opportunity to help improve their living conditions and their surrounding natural environment. Need to contact all manufacturers and consultants for installation / project? We have sent over 250 enquiries in the last year on to the manufacturers and have had all good reports on the replies and attention received. Oh yes, before you dive in, could you have a look at our 11 disclaimer thanks. There is just too many variables for us to be responsible for the systems we provide information on. Go to the 12 Systems page for a list with basic information on all systems. Need to find out who is supplying systems in your country? Go to the 13 Suppliers page and there is a list of all countries that have agents or manufacturers. Don't forget that wherever you are in the world, most manufacturers will endeavor to supply you a system if there is not a local agent. Go to our 14 Owner-build page and you will find various plans and information. Try a consultant to assist you in selecting or designing a system for your location. This is particularly good for looking at options for larger scale systems.
