Building green is extremely popular on the island as we all work to be a sustainable and environmentally careful community. And, one of the biggest trends of late? Composting toilets.
I’m guessing that toilets are one of those things that you, like me, take for granted. But sure enough, they are an issue. From septic systems to water pollution, regular old toilets are wreaking havoc on Martha’s Vineyard and around the world.
Without getting too graphic, there is a wonderful company located in Massachusetts that installs and maintains composting toilets - and apparently, it’s a breeze. They look ‘almost’ like regular toilets and can be found in multi-million dollar homes around the island, thanks to South Mountain Company, in particular.
The waste is composted into dirt by some friendly and useful worms. No water is involved and a useful fan pull any and all odors straight down. This last piece is a big selling point, personally.
