Exploring Waterless Toilets: A Case Study from Walden Pond

This research project investigates the functionality and environmental impact of waterless toilets, inspired by personal observations during my visit to Walden Pond State Reservation in Massachusetts. The exploration of this sustainable sanitation solution includes questions about how these toilets operate and their odorless nature. Following the seven steps of the research process, various resources including background information, catalogs, internet databases, and proper citation formats will be utilized to gather comprehensive knowledge on this critical topic.
