Okay kiddo, so a composting toilet is a special kind of toilet that helps turn poop and pee into something really useful called compost.
When you go potty in a composting toilet, instead of flushing it away with water like a regular toilet, your poop and pee stay right in the toilet bowl. Then something called “composting” happens.
Composting is like cooking your leftovers into something new and useful. With poop and pee, composting helps to break everything down into tiny pieces that become very rich, natural fertilizer for plants.
Basically, the composting toilet takes the waste that we normally throw away and turns it into something that can help make our gardens and plants grow better. Pretty cool, right?
