About 2.6 billion people use unsafe toilets or defecate in the open. Poor sanitation causes severe diarrhea, which kills 1.5 million children each year. Smart investments in sanitation can reduce disease, increase family incomes, keep girls in school, help preserve the environment, and enhance human dignity.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is leading a charge to reinvent the toilet! Sounds like a crappy job…but someone has to do it. This enormous problem is central to the overall of the Sustainability Campaign and an example of why it is important to adopt the ISC Principles of Sustainability.
