Hopefully we don't have to always be dependent on so many other people and services to have basic dignity and sanitation.

People who live off-grid, van/rv/etc., homestead, etc. lifestyles are pioneering a future where we don't need services that aren't likely that great for the environment - such as public sewage, our reliance on fossil fuels to power and heat our homes and electronics, or unsustainable agriculture that isn't in balance with the environment or even nutritionally-dense.

I am grateful to the people who enable our standard of living to survive with some semblance of dignity, and especially those focused on solutions, so we can get to the point of self-sufficiency, sustainability, and balance in our environment as a species and planet.

Shitting in a bucket in a van is less noble than you make it out to be.
