But it takes water to get the big logs to go down. What are we supposed to do, keep a coat hanger handy?
I need an angry aggressive flush that lowers the level of the lake for a few minutes.
I don’t know why having a toilet that needs to be flushed 3 or 4 times helps the environment ... but if you say so ...

Funny, just this very morning I found myself wishing that I had a toilet from the 1970s.

Without reading the entire article, as I assume it’s senseless drivel, I’ll predict the shit won’t be going far in the future.
How many times do we need to flush now, even after ‘light duty’? Twice?
If these idiots have their way, we’ll be flushing 3 or 4 times.....At least until the government implements some sort of controlling device to ration or tax flushes.(It WILL happen)
As they pointed out, they already have.... they just artificially raise the price of water, just like they do everything else. Cigs, gas, electricity... all expensive solely due to fake government taxes and price fixing.
And down and down and down we go go go.
Pretty soon to have the quality of life most middle, even lower middle class Americans had in the 80’s you’ll need to make over 600K a year.
We are growing more pathetic by the day.
After a trip to Skyline Chili the other day, my 1.6 gal American Standard is still mad at me.
http://www.great-lakes.net/teach/envt/levels/lev_1.html This instructs us in the cycles of water levels for each of the Great Lakes as well as Lake St. Claire. There are well described cycles ~ easily modeled ~ and it’s not Global Warming controlling this one. There are locks and dams that make sure the Lakes are navigable under a variety of conditions.
I live at about 9000 feet, way uphill of most of the people on the planet. I have a big old Sir Tomas Crapper copper lined oak tank with a long pull chain on it. I enjoy pulling the chain and knowing that people below our village’s very fine treatment plant will have all that clean water to use!
I once stayed at a hotel near the ocean near San Diego. In the bathroom was a sign that asked me to conserve water.
What is the “thinking” behind such a request? It implies there is a shortage of water. But this is pitifully specious. Next to the ocean but short of water?
No, short of money or the political will to commit the necessary capital to alleviate any capacity issues with the **government run** water utility.
And so we have the next move by government— that somehow it is more noble and more in harmony with nature to “save” water. But the oceans are just as full as ever. In fact, Al Gore is scolding us for not paying attention to his fretting about how much the oceans might rise as all the ice in Greenland melts.
Given how much in resources building a house and then maintaining it for 20 years consumes, saving a gallon of water with each flush is just a silly concern. It insults the intelligence to claim that such savings make the difference between sustainable and not sustainable.
In my experience, not a single scheme of the left to be sustainable ever really is when fully examined.
Aha!
These toilets are the reason that the Mississippi River is too low for barge traffic. Come on everyone! Flush so the corn can get to Mexico!
We replaced a couple of our older flush toilets about 5 years ago ~ and although a second flush seems to be required the advantage is NO OVERFLOW. Kohler seems to have licked ~ no shouldn’t say that ~ fixed that problem!
If we’re going to compost human waste, it would be far better for the city to collect the sludge and do it, rather than expect every single individual to do it.
With the city, they can burn it and turn it to ash, and then use it for city purposes, like flowers.
