The Water-Saving Toilets of the Future

We don’t really think about it but when we flush the toilet we are wasting 3.5 gallons of water if the toilet was made before 1994, which a lot are, or if they were made after the Energy Policy Act of 1002 we are still wasting 1.6 gallons per flush. The future of low-flow and ultra-low-flow urinals is discussed in this article. They also talk about air-flush toilets and dual-flushers. I know when I was studying abroad in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Australia every bathroom I was in had the dual flusher. So far in the U.S. you don’t really see any of these dual flushers. The article also mentions the peepoo bag we talked about previously in class.
