World Toilet Organisation

I love the fact that the WTO could mean the "World Toilet Organisation". Seems like a decent thing to support.

Ah yeah, I'm fairly certain it's for real. I found the site in an article in ode magazine, which seems unlikely to have joke articles.

But the site is just amazing. Given then importance of dealing with sanitation and human waste and how that all likes to run head first into social taboos, I think they've picked a good way to try and work around them while getting their message across.

I found the site shockingly short on details of what they actually *do* or the effects of their projects/actions. My thought was that while sanitation is extremely important for health, the whole system, not just the "toilet" is what's key.
