Question:
Ecological sanitation is a sustainable system for handling which of the following option ?
Options:
Plastic wastes .
Human excreta .
Radioactive waste .
E- waste .
Correct Answer:
Human excreta .
Explanation:
Ecological sanitation is a sustainable system for handling human excreta, using dry composting toilets. This is a practical, hygienic, efficient and cost-effective solution to human waste disposal. The key point to note here is that with this composting method, human excreta can be recycled into a resource (as natural fertiliser), which reduces the need for chemical fertilisers. There are working ‘EcoSan’ toilets in many areas of Kerala and Sri Lanka.
