Climbers pooh-pooh portable potty push
(Asahi) Sep 10
TOYAMA--Unlike portable cellphones, portable toilets don't seem to be catching on with mountain climbers here, despite the all-out efforts of officials and mountain lodge operators to promote their use.....
....The portable toilets, made of absorbent paper sheets inside a burnable plastic bag, were developed for emergency use after the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995. ...
... The toilets, which cost 400 yen apiece...people prefer not to lug around their own waste.
