Reinventing the Toilet
Special | 5m 58sVideo has Closed Captions
Researchers invent a self-sustaining toilet to provide safe and sanitary facilities.
Some might call it the most important chair in the house, but for 2.5 billion people around the world, access to safe and sanitary toilets isn’t an option. Researchers at RTI International are reinventing a toilet that is self-sustaining and doesn’t require plumbing or a regular water source.
