"Stephen Mecca has been working on the problem for the past 6 years, with the help of GSAP’s research partners at the S-Lab at Providence College and a $100,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He created the GSAP Microflush Toilet: an off-grid, sustainable, environmentally friendly, low cost, odor- and fly-free toilet that reuses the small amount (1 cup) of greywater from a previous user’s hand wash to isolate waste and flush the toilet. Microflush toilets are often owned and built near 2-3 households, so that multiple households can share a toilet, bringing the cost down even more.
In the Microflush toilet, a user’s flush of waste directly falls into a filter-digester where the solids and liquids are rapidly separated. The solids are composted in an aerobic process enhanced by simple earthworms (e-fetida) found everywhere in the world. The small filtrate volume is processed naturally in a soak hole – a micro version of a rural leaching field in the US. There is no dislodging of sludge or transportation to a waste processing plant. Every 2 years, the rear cover is removed and an organically rich compost is harvested for use in agriculture."

Mavis Institute | ( http://www.mavisinstitute.xyz )
Our Mission is to encourage local food production and ecological awareness through hands-on permaculture and homesteading education.
We are an environmental education organization starting a farm and permaculture farm education program. Currently we have our first lab on the ground of Mavis Manor. Here we have 1 acres of land to do micro experiment. We are looking to purchase and old homestead on 10 acres of land as a Fruit Forest and education center and lifestyle health.
Would rather see what awesome stuff we are currently selling.
