KZMU News Earful – Scotty Soltronic on Compost Toilets for Festivals

When you think of festivals, especially really big ones like Burning Man, what comes to mind? Is it the music, the art, the crowds? What about the human waste? Artist Scotty Soltronic wants to see a more sustainable solution to that last question. In addition to creating art at the Jenkstar Ranch north of Green River, Soltronic designs and builds compost toilets for festivals. He brought a pilot program to the Burning Man festival this year. KZMU’s Serah Mead spoke with him about the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ behind his compost toilets.
