A worldwide crapper campaigner who battles for larger toilets for women is in Alice Springs to talk turkey about turd management.
Jack Sim, originator of the World Toilet Organization (WTO), is a man who responded to nature's summon to press harder ... for better hygiene.
He will be speaking at the Pathfinders 2010 Challenge and Change convention today regarding suitable dunnies, flush toilet attitudes and taboos on talking excretion.
He said that he will be discussing that how we can use the market to resolve the predicament of 2.5 billion people without appropriate cleanliness.
Mr. Sim said that the modest loo has a bad repute, and lawmakers were more ardent to cope with sexier topics.
But, he said that societies not having latrines were hit badly by illness, with 1.5 million kids failing gratuitously every year from illnesses swelled by infected food, water and flies.
He said, "Almost everybody is constipated with toilet stories. It's like sex, they have so much to talk about, but it's taboo".
That’s why, Mr. Sim said that he has set up the World Toilet Organization.
He is working in developing nations to switch the toilet into a status symbol.
