When nature calls…
…we need a toilet. But billions of people don’t have one.
This means human faeces, on a massive scale, is not being captured or treated – contaminating the water and soil that sustain human life.
We are turning our environment into an open sewer.
We must build toilets and sanitation systems that work in harmony with ecosystems.
World Toilet Day is about nature-based solutions to our sanitation needs.
When nature calls we have to listen and act.
What is World Toilet Day?
