Editorial Reviews
Review
"Toilets That Make Compost is a truly excellent book, full of sound practical advice. The Arborloo sanitation system needs to be used much more widely and it will then make a substantial contribution to achieving the Millennium Development Goals."--Professor Duncan Mara
"Rarely does a book come along that can change the world, but
Toilets That Make Compost is one such book. The Arborloo toilet, created by Morgan, has taken off in Ethiopia with tens of thousands now in use and increasing each day. This book is highly recommended to agencies that want to make a difference in the world."--Dr. Mayling Simpson-HebertAbout the Author
