[Stoves] Biochar in the loo

[Joshua Guinto]

Hi Kelpie

Thanks for sharing the links.... i browsed through the bio char videos..
then ended up with the climate change and capitalism. The last video
sparked an ember in myself  when i was a young activist in the streets.

Back to the terra preta toilet... where was it tried in actual field
situations? In a few days and in the coming weeks, i will be involved in
disaster rehabilitation efforts, one after the Typhoon Haiyan and another
in anticipation of the eruption of Mayon Volcano in the province of Albay.
I will introduce char making stoves and bio char and then water filters and
then thought about introducing terra preta toilets.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Kind regards

Jed
