Our Mission
Through education and advocacy, PHLUSH helps local governments and citizen groups to provide equitable public restroom availability and to prepare for a pipe-breaking seismic event with appropriate ecological toilet systems.
Our Vision
Toilet availability is a human right and well-designed sanitation systems restore health to our cities, our waters and our soils.
Public Hygiene Lets Us Stay Human
Our message is in our name. Public Hygiene Lets Us Stay Human.
