Climate change is affecting food production

8. Just finished gathering materials for an emergency composting toilet I'll be putting in the basement

Was at the shop cleaning things up and I savaged some shorter pieces of 2 x 4s which I'll be making the composting toilet frame out of and I saved the nails I pulled out. Also got a small sheet of 3/4 OSB board for the top and a 5 gallon bucket from the storage building for the waste. Plus I got 4 pieces of cement block which I'll put the toilet on to keep the wood frame off the floor which gets wet during spring thaw.

I have a 55 gallon barrel filled with water in the basement for emergency toilet flushing but that would last only a few days.

I still need to get compostable liners for the 5 gallon bucket, a toilet seat and a bag or two of pet bedding. I have a small bathroom vanity, complete with sink, drain assembly and faucet, stored in the attic which I'll bring down for hand washing.
