CAROL MCCREARY

Carol supports PHLUSH as Program Manager. She sees solving toilet issues at the heart of human dignity, community well-being, and the health of people and our planet. Her passions run the gamut from championing public toilets to questioning how much longer we can afford to use drinking water to transport our pee and poo to wastewater treatment plants vulnerable to seismic events, climate change and sea level rise. She represents PHLUSH on the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA) for their knowledge-management project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Equipped with an MA in teaching and an MS in development management, Carol spent three decades working in Morocco, Tunisia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Yemen. Along with five neighbors, she co-founded PHLUSH in 2005 in Portland’s Old Town Chinatown District.
