[Gaviotas] Composting toilets in developing countries

[Scott Mann]

Matt,  I am a former Peace Corps Volunteer who worked in rural Panama for three years and was part of a program that advocated, built and monitored composting latrines.   An invaluable resource and step one is the consultation of the Humanure Handbook (www.jenkinspublishing.com ).  
 
I would be happy to discuss the technical and social implications of this discreta disposal system, either over the list serve, or by phone.
