Compost Toilet
Definition
A dry sanitation system that separates human waste and uses natural decomposition (composting) to turn it into nutrient-rich soil. Unlike conventional flush toilets, it requires little or no water and recycles waste safely back into the ecosystem.
Interpretation
More than a toilet — it’s a throne of regeneration. A place where shame is composted into pride, and what we once considered “waste” becomes nourishment. It reminds us that paradise is a verb, and even our most private acts can be part of healing soil, feeding trees, and closing the circle of life.

Living Invitation
Next time you “deal with your shit,” imagine the mango tree or banana circle your body could be feeding. Notice any shame that arises — and compost it too.
