BBC World News is repeating the Zer0-M video by Joshka Wessels and TVE, Waste
not Waste.
TVE is still working at getting the dates of
the broadcasting right on their homepage. But below are the correct broadcasting
times.
You find the complete treatment of the film on the webpage of
TVE. Appreciate also the research about interesting links TVE has done, a
who is who of ecosanitation.
Waste not Waste: very flush of the toilet sends 27 litres of precious drinking water down the drain. Earth Report
goes on the trail of less wasteful alternatives and finds out whether
the non-flush loo can become culturally acceptable. In Germany they
have developed waterless urinals and dry toilets. A Dutch inventor has
developed a device that fills compost bags with human waste, right
there in your toilet. The technology is out there and could be catching
on in parts of Europe but how is it being received elsewhere? In
Morocco and Tunisia, water is scarce but will people in these countries
want to use waterless toilets?
'Waste not Waste' is
broadcast on BBC World News at the
following times (all times quoted as
Friday 16 January at 20:30, with repeats on
Tuesday 20 January at 15:30 and
Wednesday 21 January at 02:30.

Forty per cent of the world’s population are without
access to a latrine or toilet. But how do you get people to think about
building a toilet when they've never had one? Earth Report
travels to Bangladesh to discover changing attitudes to hygiene.
Instead of top-down solutions, a new community-led approach is
encouraging people to sort out their sanitation in more than 300
villages. Earth Report investigates.
'Clean Living'is broadcast on BBC World News at the following times (all times quoted as UK time zone currently GMT):
