Taking Your Toilet for Granted

I recently read a book review of a book entitled "The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters." The review is well worth reading as it does a good job of summarizing the main issues raised within the book. There are of course many needs in the world that need to be addressed, but I find myself continually drawn to the ones that seem most overlooked. In my opinion, the lack of proper sanitation facilities should be very near to the top of the list of overlooked and regularly unaddressed needs in the developing world.
