The millennium commission has decided the toilet of the future should be as useful fertilising rose beds as allowing owners to answer a call of nature. It is helping to fund the development of a new, affordable toilet that will turn human waste into fertiliser fit to be spread on the garden without any intervention fron owners. The commission is giving 3,000 pounds to Richard Ireson, a computer-company owner from Wellingborough, Northants, who claims his new system will get rid of harmful waste left in human sewage at a fraction of the cost of available composing toilets.
