Composting Toilet on National Geographic (Youtube video)

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNMs9oiPuvo I've been reading a lot more about composting toilets lately, and I found this short video on Youtube explaining their importance and simplicity. Note they use shredded wood chips as the activator with each sitting session... a handy tip for you composters out there. High in carbon, gets to work quick. The highlight of the video is near the end where they show all these people sitting on their toilets reading various things...pretty weird!

Nice compost pails, SF people!

Among the first things I did when waking up in this awesome town was take pictures of my host's compost bin. The bins are serviced weekly and it's compulsory alongside recycling. Way to go, Frisco!

Off to the Bay…

For the next 10 days, I'll be hanging out in the Bay Area... I can't wait to take some pictures of the San Francisco composting program. And of course, I'll be taking photos of trash and recycling cans for Tyler Talks Trash. I find it funny that my favorite part of traveling has become taking pictures of waste receptacles...seriously! It's always the first thing that comes to mind when I go somewhere. I've heard really good things about San Francisco's composting plan...it wouldn't surprise me if Philadelphia followed suit. I'll have to see what I can do...
