I see a disturbing trend heading our way. In this era of “going green”, there is movement of yellow in the bathroom world. As a way to save water, flushing toilets on an “as needed” basis is becoming the norm. The average toilet uses approximately 4 -5 gallons of water with every flush. This doesn’t count the water that fills the bowl. The thought is to follow the mantra “If it’s brown flush it down, if it’s yellow let is mellow.” The problem with this is that while we are saving water, the thought of walking up to a urinal with marinating urine that’s been sitting there for who knows how long, disgusts me. I don’t really want to know if you had asparagus the night before. There has to be a better way. The toilet industry is coming up with “water saving” toilets that use less water. Only problem here is that since it uses half the water, the chances of plugging them up increase. What do you do when you plug up your toilet? Get out the plunger, plunge a few times, then flush once or twice. As a result, using more water. There are several ways to save water with our toilets. I’m all for preservation of water, just not urine. Save the whales, save energy, even save our cows by not eating red meat, me … I’m for saving my olfactory senses.
