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 ...

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)
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!
ALL water is recycled. It gets taken from the environment, used, returned to the environment, evaporated, and returned as rain. It’s been doing this for billions of years. No amount of toilet conservation will ever change this. It is the ultimate in “sustainability”. These people are absolutely nuts.
It's ugly as heck, and hard to keep clean and working. I make parts to keep it working.
I'll die before I give it up.

“cover their wastes with a new layer of carbon- rich material. Once the bucket is full, the contents can be dumped out and composted.”
This is ridiculous. All this is is re-hashing the old days.
Which proves beyond doubt all these EnviroNAZIs want is to punt us back to the stone age. Or Moslem society, whichever.
"BAAAAA-WOOOOOSH.....now that's a MAN'S flush, Bud."
Now we will require every resident to treat his own sewage in his back yard (or front yard if he doesn't have a back yard), without using water.
What could possibly go wrong?
Theoretically they save water. Realistically I have to flush mine sometimes as many as four times to get just one square of toilet paper to go down the drain.
Toilets from before 1980 can use up to 7 gallons of water per flush, but federal regulations require that new toilets use no more than 1.6 gallons per flush. Simply by replacing old toilets, people can dramatically reduce their water consumption”
Barbra Streisand. Swaying the fools out there saying “7 gal” which is OLD toilets. My parents have 3-gal toilets, and lo and behold to this day 40 years later they STILL flush even gigantic loads of (x) and toilet paper in 1 flush.
Meanwhile we have to constantly have our plunger at the ready for all 4 of our “eco” toilets (3 brands, 2 types). Even when we don’t use that we need to flush almost always 2x for just a bit of TP.
That’s 3 gal vs. 3.2 gal per “visit”.
Screw them!!!
I still use 30 year old toilets that work with the first flush, no matter what!!!
