Billions
of people in the world don't have adequate sanitation services, and
thousands of these don't have any sort of modern plumbing. Improving
sanitation conditions for people globally helps the environment,
health, dignity, gender equality, and more! World Toilet - dot - Org
increases people's awareness of this problem through events, and this
organization also takes donations that are used to purchase and
install toilets and other aspects of good sanitation.
To
learn more about wastewater—what we flush down our toilets—check
out the City of San Diego's website “Sewage in your Face.”
(Whoa! A virtual sewage treatment?) Or check out the website of
the L.A. Sanitation Department of Public Works. There is a slide show
and a clickable link in the category of “Wastewater Program.”
Have
you ever wondered what bathrooms and toilets looked like long, long
ago? What did the ancient civilizations do with human waste?
