Worrisome

So, recently, I've been reading about composting toilets. I'll pause a moment while you mull that one over.

Have no worries, we still madly love the TT-6000 and are smart enough to not attempt to install a "waste disposal" system that relies on gravity . . . in a swamp . . . barely above sea level.

But, so you know what we're talking about, this lovely model says it is "self contained" . . .

and this model has lots of claims that, frankly, alarm me. . . like "flushes up" and "aerates and pulverizes waste" . . .

But, what actually has kept me up nights is not nightmares about backwash and what happens when we get one of our flooding rains . . . but that the toilet website discusses the capacity these toilets can manage daily.

I understand that composting is a delicate dance of waste and enzymes and heat and magic. I get that. But, the website says that the highest capacity toilet can handle 8 people . . . using the toilet three times a day each. ONLY THREE TIMES A DAY? I estimate that I qualify as at least three people. I go three times between the hours of midnight and 8am.

Now I am all twisted with worry that perhaps I go to the bathroom TOO much. . . that's bad, right? or is it good? I drink lots of water everyday . . . they say that's good . . . but then, am I ruining the planet? I totally adhere to the hippie rule of "if it's yellow" . . . but, is that enough?

My head hurts. I think I'll go to my special thinking spot for a few minutes . . . oh wait . . . that's what made my head hurt in the first place. I'm so screwed. And so is the planet.
