Milliarder mangler et toilet – hvad kan der gøres?

Prøv at forestille dig, hvordan det er at leve uden et toilet. Der er en grund til, at toiletter og kloakering anses for en af menneskehedens største opfindelser.

Arrangøren – INDEX: Design to Improve Life – har besluttet, at der skal tales om problemet – og laves løsninger.
