Join the Vermont Ecological Sanitation Working Group for a presentation & discussion about advocacy for composting toilet permitting pathways in Vermont (House Bills H.163 & H.164). Did you know that though Vermonters can have compost toilets, there is currently no permit available for reusing the humanure that these toilets collect? In this presentation, we will cover the environmental and societal benefits of ecological sanitation for Vermont, the safety of humanure composting, and current regulatory options. We will conclude by discussing how Vermonters can advocate for two bills currently in the Vermont House (H.163 and H.164), which would create new allowances and best management practices for humanure. Presenters will include Chrissy Wade (Master Composter & working group leader), Deb Neher (UVM Plant & Soil Science Professor), Julia Cavicchi (Rich Earth Institute's Education Director), and Tom Mosakowski (H. 164 advocate). We will have time for discussion at the end of the presentation. Register here to attend! If you aren't able to make it, please register anyway to receive the webinar recording and follow-up information.
