Environazis want to stop you from flushing your toilets, propose a "toilet tax"!

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

As the world celebrates World Toilet Day today, sanitation experts have called for the end of the flushing to save water and provide fertilizer for crops.

...

Speaking at the recent World Toilet Summit in Macau, World Toilet Organisation founder Jack Sims said the concept of the flushing toilet was unsustainable.

Mr Sims said a culture where people flushed their loos but disregarded the thousands of litres of wasted drinking water each year was one of sanitation's greatest challenges.

...

There have already been calls by Australian experts to reduce the amount of water wasted through toilet flushing with a proposed new toilet tax.

...

"Some people may go as far as not flushing their toilet as often, as the less sewage you produce the less the rate you pay," [Adelaide University's Water Management] Professor Young said.

do you have water meters on your houses?

Has anyone here used a flushless urinal? They save thousands of gallons of water.

The Falcon Waterfree urinal involves a vitreous china or stainless steel fixture and a patented, replaceable cartridge that is installed at the bottom of the urinal into a fitting that is connected to a drainpipe. Installation is simple and typically takes less time than for a flush urinal with valve assembly.

Regardless of what the publicity says, I've specced waterless urinals for buildings and, once they're installed, they smell .......... bad.

I'll just ####### in a plasic garbage bag and throw it in the trash if these clowns decide to pull this stupidness. Better yet...I'll ####### in a paper bag, lite it on fire, and toss it on their front porch. A modern twist to an old prank. Tax that!

I've been in a number of public restrooms with the Falcon no-flush urinals and never experienced any unusually bad urine smell. Lets face it, public restrooms aren't known for their pleasant odor.

Indeed not, but office buildings have maintenance staff who are supposed to clean regularly. Not a place you would expect a malodorous aroma to propagate.

Now, composting toilets I can live with. And using "gray" water in the sanitary system is also a good solution. Wallgate units in place of wash basins, too. Just not the waterless urinals.

What line of work did you say you do?

My husband often forgets to flush the toilet.

I thought he was being gross but it turns out he was being environmentally conscious.

If it's yellow, it's mellow.

If it's brown, flush it down.

Dude, water isn't even that expensive! #######??
