Human beings are great precisely because they possess thought.

Even going to the toilet should be a super experience,

enjoy the birdsong, the chirping of insects, enjoy the greenery, enjoy the fresh air.

How is that possible?

Many things exist as soon as you give them a thought.

We did it, and built a handmade recycled toilet amid the greenery.

 

It had to be handmade, the materials recycled,

and the excrement recycled back to the vegetable patch.

All right, then let us gather our ideas,

draw up the plans and get to work!

 

What recycled materials did we get?

Thin boards and transparent panels removed from the exhibition hall,

plus old iron bars and wooden strips of uneven sizes.

Cement posts from the park's flower beds,

two squat toilet pans bought earlier, and a recycled toilet.

The most fun was that Brother Lama gave us 4 large flower pots,

and with a change of thinking they became a 4-stage septic tank.

There was also an old large water tank, patched by hand where it had holes,

hahaha, after doing the math, the materials were about enough.

 

How to build it?

At first we thought of digging pits in the ground and laying pipes,

but when we actually started we found that because there are coconut palms around,

it would damage the roots. So what to do?

Think and think... Having a mind is truly wonderful.

Lay exposed pipes, raise the toilet higher, and run the pipes underneath,

and the problem was solved!

 

Build a platform and frame posts, make a transparent roof,

and the toilet in our imagination is being realized step by step.

When we were short-handed,

the community volunteers joined in,

and the toilet's progress picked up pace.

The water tank was mounted on a recycled scaffold,

and the flushing problem was solved.

Yay! It's done!! Everything was arranged just right!

It's as if they were just waiting for us to bring them together.

 

We also dug an ecological pond between the walkways,

so the frogs and small fish could play there.

A recycled lampshade was transformed into a washbasin.

Hahaha, only a "genius" would have such a creative idea! :)

Recycled transparent panels, the whole roof is transparent.
