What do you take for granted in daily life or in relationships ???
I was researching international toilet day recently ... I definitely take having a flushable toilet for granted . Not sure how I would cope if anything happened to disrupt sewerage infrastructure . I also imagined how life must be for those who do not have such a commodity  I have till November to come up with an idea to support international toilet day .
Next time you flush think about what you take for granted and report back to me ... no judgement

I actually had to get a little apartment in town. It's not so much the flushing. It's a hot shower whenever the mood hits. I think what is taken for granted is that I read and am answering your question. Up at the cabin I can be online.......in the outhouse. So No, I don't take flushing for granted.

So No, I don't take flushing for granted. hot showers would come a close second for me ..
By flushing I was really referring to the whole concept of having a sewerage infrastructure .. what does the outhouse consist of ?? Now I am wondering who else is mingling online when they are on the toilet lol |

I, and millions of others have to take for granted that there is water to flush the toilet, not having rain water collection devices around the house.
Where I live, near Adelaide, in The Great South Land, it is near the end of the once mighty Murray river, but eastern states upstream take so much water that the Murray mouth has to be dredged open 24/7, or it closes over, and we have to run a desalination plant to keep Adelaide in reticulated water. Dry composting toilets seem good on paper / on the computer, but they stink and attract flies. I would prefer a long drop toilet; a deep post hole with a seat, and a thunder box on top for privacy. When full, you get the tractor out and bore another post hole, and drag the thunder box over it again. When gardening, don't dig too deep ! Portaloos are a good idea, but need emptying and cleaning often. At the end of a summer festival they are best avoided. And they use nasty smelly chemicals. I think the primary digesters at the sewage plants are amazing, growing bugs which break down the solids in huge tanks, drawing off methane for power generation to help run the plant, and allowing the rest of the plant to cope with a relatively homogenous watery sludge, instead of chunky lumps. When something big happens like a moon landing, royal wedding, popular TV show is on, or similar, when many people hit the dunny at a commercial break, a tsunami of crap has to be processed very quickly, to avoid overflow and raw sewage entering the sea. Remember that most of the food and drink purchased at most supermarkets and food outlets has to go somewhere other than in the street. All of those trucks of food end up as crap needing careful treatment and disposal. A study of how the Vatican deals with Holy Crap would be interesting. |

I don’t know a great deal about waste treatment but the article I read questioned the use of water resources . The compostable toilet was installed inside an eco home .. they insisted it didn’t stink . DIY outside ones use sawdust which is supposed to absorb odours and break down content . Will have yo do some more in-depth reading lol |

Thinking back to March when the lockdowns and stay at home orders began... One of the things that concerned me most was what would happen if the grocery stores shut down? With that said, I'd have to say I take for granted that the basic necessities for survival, like food and water, will always be available to me.

Free healthcare.. It should be a right, so should be housing. But it is reserved for the capitalist elite
