You can breathe inside. The first thing which is noticed, or rather not noticed about the new composting toilet located at the Warwick Long Bay playground is that it is odour free.

Compared to its often foul smelling counterpart - the portable toilet - the composting toilet appears to be a dream come true for environment lovers - a way to give back.

The white slated roof fits just right with the architecture of the Island.

Who could ask for more? The interior is spacious, not cramped up with an actual toilet and the absence of a foot lever to release the waste.

And while it essentially sits on a pit, there is a constant flow of fresh air going to the tank below which means that there is little to no bad odour escaping to the surface.

This toilet is bearable, as far as portable toilets go.

However, there is one draw back, this toilet without much ventilation attracts a lot of heat. If it's hot outside then it's definitely hotter inside.

The facility is nestled off to the right side corner providing more than enough room to throw your belonging a safe distance away.

Hand rails installed around the toilet provide the added support against those embarrassing moments.

This toilet is a far cry from its chemical filled counterparts which often had the ability to make the user enter and escape while holding their nose to avoid the smell.

Although there is an actual toilet, the seat is better left down, as it exposes the open pit below. Which may have one viewing seeing things they would rather not.

There is a humming sound which emanates from overhead as the fan pumps fresh air down into the tank below.

There is one other amenity which is adds to the experience of this facility - a soap dispenser. But without any water flowing in, you'll have to use your imagination.

If you're looking for something that is quick and easy, with no cluttering of toilet paper or flushing required, anew and unique way to contribute to the environment without costing a dime then this might be one way to do it.

And it might be worth the time looking at the last line of the instructions which reads: "Thank you for helping us preserve our environment."
