When initiating yourself into the world of Eco-friendliness, it is important to realize that you now must become very passionate about toilets.
There are these bathroom stalls on campus that I always stayed away from because they had what seemed to me to be forboding plaques on the doors. I just figured they were trying to make people REALLY aware of which were the handicapped stalls. Then, one day, when I was alone in the group-loo, I decided to give the thing a read and...
...Holy Frijole!--it's a water-saving device! So, today, I made it a point to use the water-conserving commodes. Turns out it's made by a company called Sloan (which also makes waterless urinals...oooh-la-la) and not only is the cheekily green-colored flush-handle symbolic of it's mission, it's also anti-microbiotic.
Basically, it's a push up to use less water when, you know, it's a liquid situation...And down for a full flush when you, ahem, might need an extra wave.
So don't be afraid of little silver plaques and give these Green Flushing Machines a chance. And you didn't think relieving yourself could get anymore exciting, did you? Live and learn.
(p.s. can I just mention how uncomfortable it is to take photos in a women's public, college campus bathroom, two doors down from where you just had a women's studies class? Great.)
