The urgency of leaving water in our rivers means we need to rethink our flush toilets.Many of us are experimenting with homemade composting toilets.Sunday, Oct 8| 11am| Zocalo
Let’s compare notes about best practices in processing “the material” and get clear about what precautions are in order.
Come prepared to share about your own “research”–what has and hasn’t worked.
Let’s share best practices and precautions in the processing of homemade compost toilet “material”.
Water is a critical resource in CA and there’s not enough being left in the rivers.
Many premies are forgoing flush toilets and experimenting with composting toilets –and using a variety of methods to process the material to make it “safe” to put in the garden. This is important hands on research but also requires some responsibility.
This workshop would give us a chance to compare notes, learn from each other, and perhaps to self correct in case some methods are not recommended.
As a plumber Christina has earned the right to have an attitude about flush toilets! The nutrients in our excretions need to nourish the soil, not pollute our waterways! As an eco artist she creates artworks that spark awareness about environmental issues (and solutions), especially related to water. She believes wholeheartedly in the power of art to wake people up and stimulate change.

Nik Bertulis wants to reinstate abundance for all life via empowering humanity’s intrinsic regenerative potential. He studied permaculture with Bill Mollison and is a certified permaculture teacher, wildlands firefighter and emergency medical technician with a B.A.S. degree in ecological design from Colorado College.
His professional accomplishments include helping develop and teaching permaculture and regenerative design programs at Merritt College in Oakland and the San Francisco Art Institute. As an artist he co-founded the award winning public arts collaborative Monsoon Arsenal and as a designer-builder he was cofounder and CFO of the successful permaculture design-build company the DIG Cooperative where he helped pioneer some of the first permitted constructed wetlands and rainwater recycling systems in the bay area. His clients have ranged from Mexico City’s Ministry of the Environment to Los Alamos National Laboratory. A deep love for non-profiteering led him to co-found several non-profits including Urban Biofilter, PLACE for Sustainable Living and most recently the California Center for Natural History. He also serves on the board of the Watershed Alliance of Marin and the Dietrich Institute for Applied Insect Ecology. He currently serves as CEO of the Oakleyville Cooperative in Oakland, CA.
Most of his free time is spent tinkering on regenerative living systems, transformative scenario planning and invertebrate macro-photography. More examples of his work can be seen at nikbertulis.com.Compost toilets, parasites, and social change:
