I found a company that makes the odor free composting toilets that Darcy was talking about. The secret to the sweet aroma? It's a negative pressure tank. A fan blows air from your bathroom down the hatch and the composting chamber vents to the outside. Plus it's aerobic decomposition so you don't make as much H2S. Fancy! There's even a mechanism that closes a hatch over the poop chute when you're not sitting on the seat so you don't have to look at your dirty little secrets. Pretty interesting stuff. It looks like they sell them mostly to people who would otherwise have septic tanks though. At 370 Watts for the thermostatic heater and draft fan, I'm not sure the water it saves would be worth it. They also make one that has no heater and runs with a small exhaust fan on a car battery, but fewer BTU's means more P.U.'s
