Experts call for end of flushing toilets on World Toilet Day
AS the world celebrates World Toilet Day today, sanitation experts have called for the end of the flushing dunny to save water and provide fertilizer for crops.
Leading health advocates have called for the use of "dry" toilets which separate urine from faeces and remove the need to flush.
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.
"This 'flush and forget' attitude creates a new problem which we have to revisit," he said.
There have already been calls by Australian experts to reduce the amount of water wasted through toilet flushing with a proposed new toilet tax.
That's a really cr*ppy idea. :thatsright:

Isn't one of the Rockefeller heiresses, some broad who lives in Boston, into some sort of "Swedish" commode that doesn't use water?
After John D. I, those Rockefellers started turning weird.
One wonders what the sparkling husband primitive thinks about the matter.

I was somewhere in CT a few months ago - I think it was a mall - and the urinals didn't have any plumbing, no water at all just a bigger "mint." I expected it to smell but it didn't.
