Walter Gibson, MA PhD, talks about his invention call "Tiger Toilet"
The inventor of "Tiger Toilet" project, Walter Gibson, a microbiologist by Profession claims the idea is to replace the traditional rural toilets of our urban cities. The initiative of this toilet system is depending on some kind of giant earthworm. Each toilet will be enriched with such worms which will nosh the stools. And the excretion of that worm can be used as compost fertilizer. The toilet will remain smell free and & also much more hygienic than traditional toilets.
Walter Gibson, MA PhD was talking about his invention call "Tiger Toilet". It is one of the four new ideas of toilet that has created lot of concentration.
The Dhaka Tribune had an exclusive talk with the visiting Scotsman at CIRDAP (Centre on Integrated Rural Development for Asia and the Pacific) auditorium near National Press Club, Dhaka.
Why you are trying this in Bangladesh? Did the Idea concern this in your land?
The Idea is developed in England in 2006 while I was with London School of Hygiene. Then we have gone through lot of Lab-tests & then implemented it in Myanmar, India and Africa which resulted positive...and why not in England? Look, in Britain, we are not in risk in terms of sanitation. An integrated system is working there.
But Tiger Toilet is more supportive in over populated countries like Bangladesh. This system changes the human excretion into compost via natural process. If it works properly in Bangladesh, it will make me happier person at the same time it will also do good to Bangladesh profoundly. This will open another money generating window for Bangladeshi people."
