(b) "记者来到他的法律事务所采访时，他兴冲冲的先带记者参观他的屋顶菜园。屋顶上种了各式各样的有机蔬菜 * * * 他很得意的介绍两座大型堆肥 compost 筒，这种人粪堆肥在他眼中是所谓的 '黑色黄金 black gold [which can mean a lot of things, such as oetroleum]，' '内容' 来自屋顶上的一座 '干式马桶。'
(i) dry toilet
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_toilet
(section 1 Terminology: could mean one of four toilet technologies: composting toilet and three others)
(ii) composting toilet
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composting_toilet
(section 6.2 Active composters: "compost[ing] in a container within the toilet unit. They are slightly larger than a flush toilet * * * Operators of composting toilets commonly add a small amount of absorbent carbon material (such as untreated sawdust * * *) after each use to create air pockets to encourage aerobic processing, to absorb liquid and to create an odor barrier")
Quote: "Unlike pit latrines, composting toilets convert feces into a dry, odorless material, avoiding the issues surrounding liquid fecal sludge management (eg odor, insects and disposal). These toilets minimize the risk of water pollution through the safe containment of faces in above-ground vaults, which allows the toilets to be sited in locations where pit-based systems are not appropriate. However, composting toilets face higher [initial] capital costs (although lifecycle costs might be lower)
(c) "文鲁彬打开马桶盖子要记者闻闻： '没有味道啊！[':] 记者 * * * 很简单，就是碳氮的比例。这是木屑 sawdust。 我们用木屑，旧的榻榻米（注：天然蔺草做的日本式叠席）。你用完了（厕所）就把这些放进去就好了。只要碳氮的比例对了
(i) 茳芏
zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/茳芏
(Cyperus malaccensis; 藺草 or 茳芏; 叶片短，叶鞘长，长約150厘米; 分布于马来亚、印度、缅甸、印度尼西亚、地中海地区、日本、越南、台灣以及中国大陆的广东等地，常生长在湿地)
(ii) In both en.wikipedia.org (title: tatami) and ja.wikipedia.org (title: 畳), traditionally the core is "rice straw" (the former) or "稲藁" (the latter; meaning the same), and topped with "woven soft rush (igusa)" (the former) or "い草 [pronounced 'igusa'--藺草 or Juncus effusus, according to ja.wikipedia.org=."
Biologically and morphologically, Cyperus malaccensis and Juncus effusus are very different. Hence I am clueless about why both are reportedly called 蔺草.
(d) "对文鲁彬而言，决心投入台湾政治并非偶然。2007年环保署召开环评大会，重审台塑钢进入第二阶段环评的决议，当时会中出现推挤。文鲁彬对美国之音记者说，当他离开会议室后遭到云林县议长苏金煌 [KMT; speakership 2006-2014 when he retired at 70] 殴打，当时还有台塑人员在场。"

("On Nov 7, 2007, Yunlin County Assembly Speaker Su Jin-huang (蘇金煌) assaulted former Environmental Impact Assessment Committee member Robin Winkler (Wen Lu-bin 文魯彬) at an environmental impact assessment hearing held at the Environmental Protection Agency’s (環保署) Taipei offices. The hearing was held to review the environmental impact of the Formosa Plastics Group’s proposed US$5 billion steel plant in Taisi Township (台西), Yunlin County. In October 2008, Su was convicted [by District Court] of the assault and was sentenced to six months imprisonment convertible to a fine. Both Su and the prosecutor filed appeals with the Taiwan High Court 臺灣高等法院. The High Court today dismissed both appeals and upheld Su’s conviction and sentence by the District Court 地方法院")
