Default New Vistas in Toilets

It's hard to believe that American Standard had no PhD's just a few years
ago. Now the company has SEVEN, deeply immersed in doo-dooing research.

I like the innovation where the toilet notices you've lifted the seat and
uses just a teeny flush instead of the monstrous 1.6 gallons!

Of course the most environmentally friendly toilet is still the outhouse....

And today I encountered my first waterless urinal -- about which I had
read recently -- in a nearby high school, where my son was playing in a
band competition. It seemed fine and didn't smell.
