Humanure
In Humanure Part 1, Nikolay, the facility manager at Deer Park Monastery, California, explains what a compost toilet is and how to use it. In Humanure Part 2 ( • Humanure Part 2: How t... ) he shows us how to load a compost pile.
Humanure is a scientifically proven, sustainable toilet and compost system (introduced by Joseph Jenkins), in which human excrements (poop and pee) are collected, piled up and transformed into rich new soil full of nutriments that can be used to cultivate crops, for gardening or other ways to improve soil and life quality. The humanure toilet system is a waterless system. You do not flush, you don’t need pipes, electricity, sewage drainage systems, etc. It is simple, organic, sustainable and, to many’s surprise, odorless.
With Humanure (a combination of the words Human and Manure) a broken and toxic system full of waste, is repaired into a healthy, organic, circular toilet and fertilizing system that on top of it, as Nikolay shows, brings great joy and satisfaction.
Everything is impermanent, they say. What about our current toilet system in the affluent world?
A broken circle can be repaired by you yourself, the healing part of the chain, and changed into an eternal loop of true inter-being: the food you eat becomes poop and pee, your poop and pee becomes rich compost, your rich compost enriches the earth, and helps to bring about new and healthy food again … also for next generations, into infinity. 😁
Hopefully we can record the third and last video of the cycle, How to use the Compost, somewhere next year. And who knows by then Deer Park Happy Farm is operative.
Happy Humanure - for those who are not afraid of a happy change,
