Short documentary on “businessman-turned-sanitation-superhero” Jack Sim who wants to bring toilets to the 2.6 billion people who don’t have them (a large chunk of them in Africa). He wants to talk about shit people don’t say. Best line: Sim wants people without toilets to desire them ‘like a Louis Vuitton handbag.’The film seems to have been removed on vimeo. As soon as the video is up again, we’ll put it up again.

Interesting subject, but ultimately Sim wants us to buy more shit to deal with our shit.
Joseph Jenkins has been doing this for 30 years. All you need is a bucket, some sawdust, and a compost pile. Your “waste” becomes fertilizer in 6 months.

WHY doesn’t he TRAIN AFRICAN pweople so that they can themselves build their own toilets?
