"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

Not too bad really, but I do have a maid.
My city is another matter. I live in Jakarta, and it's a big city. It's hard to get a figure for the population; low estimates put it at around 8.5 million; high estimates at around 22, although, I doubt the true figure is anywhere near as high as that.
The problem is there are no sewers. They are just starting to build them. The plan is to have 25% of the population of the city served by a sewerage system by 2030. Nice.

- by which I mean cheaper and greener - to provide every house with composting toilets?

but how often do these toilets need to be emptied and how would the compost/waste be collected? If they did install composting toilets, Indonesia would never have to buy fertiliser again...
