This is the Envirolet Lens. Envirolet is the world's finest composting toilet system. Some might say it is the Purple Cow of Toilets. If this makes no sense, the you better explore Squidoo a little more...!

H20-No!
But, why would I want a composting toilet when I can just flush everything away? you ask. Good question. The problem is that when you flush you are using gallons of fresh, clean water. Water that can be used for other important things like say swimming pools. Or even more cool, drinking.

We know that a compost toilet is not practical for all places, yet. But, one day it will be the main type of toilet system you use as we run out of fresh water. More about applications ina future Lens section.

So essentially Envirolet is designed to save water. It also converts waste to a clean compost material. It reduces & recycles waste.

Canada, eh?
Envirolet was first designed and manufactured in Canada (we would have a handy Google Map as part of this Lens to show you where we are, but Canada is not supported yet...). This is sort of ironic as Canada has probably the largest supply of clean, fresh water in the world. But, we are very protective of it, hence Envirolet was born in 1977.

Lensing it up
We created this Lens as a sort of mix tape of all things Envirolet. We have a few web sites to say the least. On some of them we sell Envirolet systems, naturally. We also have a blog or two to promote Envirolet and other green things. Then we have some promo gear like shirts. You can also find Envirolet on Amazon.com, flickr and sometimes eBay. Links and more about all of them can be found here.

Hope you like our Lens!

4 out 10 people in the world do not have basic sanitation

This is tragic

This is where composting toilets can help.

"The number of people without basic sanitation - toilets that flush into piped sewers or septic tanks, composting toilets or ventilated pit latrines - has fallen by only 98 million since 1990.

Sanitation is available to just six in 10 people worldwide.

The other four in 10 "are obliged to defecate in the open or use unsanitary facilities, with a serious risk of exposure to sanitation-related diseases," the report says.

Some 4,500 children die every day from the consequences of unsafe water and inadequate hygiene, according to WHO's 2005 figures."
