I'm a girl who has picked up and moved from coast to coast (& north past most of Canada). That is... Norfolk, Virginia to Bethel, Alaska. --- This journal is a record of the move, and life in the Tundra.

Honeybuckets

Honeybuckets Vs. Plumbing

This is an article from this week in the Alaska Dispatch. This is 2012 and a large chunk of the US is still without plumbing. I know this is also still the case in parts of Appalachia. After seeing the impact plumbing has on health and well-being... well lets say I will NEVER take plumbing for granted again.

  1. There was boat-based honeybucket service on Skaneateles Lake up until about a decade ago. The City of Syracuse used to pay for it, because the lake is the drinking water supply of the city. Apparently, they eventually ended the service and helped roll out composting toilets for the more inaccessible campsites. It'd be great if they could roll something like that out in your neck of the woods.
