People in WV open defecate in fields?
- orwin 3y agoDry toilets and chamber pots are used in rural areas all over the world, yes? How city-centric must you be to not know that? But even in rural areas with easy road access (so not the area I talked about in WV), I can easely see people using dry toilets and putting their excretions in the field. It's not like DIY plumbing for sceptic tank is particularly easy or inexpensive, any person living off grid, by choice or necessity, might prefer 'defecate in fields' (ie: using dry toilets) imho. Now I remember how some urbanites think themselves above rural people from their own countries, I almost forgot. Parisians are not the only self-centered narcissists it seems.
- zarzavat 3y agoDry toilet counts as a toilet for the purpose of these statistics. It’s about people relieving themselves outside.
- orwin 3y agoChild, please. Pit latrine and chamber pot are dry toilets. Common, its not that hard. 'modern' hipster composting dry toilets are found at festivals or in 'new rural' houses (don't really know the English translation), but in mountain farms I guarantee you it's not that that they use. And yes, pit latrines are often in outhouses, temporary or not. 'outside' don't mean 'in public'. Pit latrines and chamber pots absolutely dont count as toilets in statistics. Those are dry toilets. Even if you never stepped in the countryside, look at Wikipedia 'dry toilets', and learn.
- gadders 3y agoNone of those things count as open defecation.
- gadders 3y agoSo they don't open defecate then?
