Toilets

After going to coffee exchange and using their bathroom, it occurs to me that there are more options than low flush toilets or high flush toilets. Considering the concerns over clogging problems with a low flush toilet, getting a dual flush toilet is probably the best way to go though I haven't thoroughly researched this topic.

I went to treehugger and looked at what they had to say. They agree about dual flush toilets and add to it with low flow showerheads, sinks to the top of toilets, and no flush urinals. I don't know about how much these things cost but these are definitely possibilities looking to the future.

The relevant articles are here and here.

Also, to save some water right now, we can start filling half gallon milk containers with water and putting them in the toilet tank in order to displace water and thus use less of it per flush though there seems to be debate as to how effective this is (that is, does it wear out the toilet faster or require numerous flushes). See relevant debate here.
