    Default Do Your Bit To Save Water

    You too can take action to save water. Lobby your employer/business landlord/whoever you need to and ask them to replace standard water flushing urinals with this:

    http://www.desert.com.au/waterless.htm

    It is not a joke, I've worked in a building in SA which uses them, and there is no smell, and they must be saving water.

    Particularly in a building like the one I'm in now, where the urinals work on a motion sensor near the door, we must be wasting quite a bit.

    You don't have to be a boy to ask for the change, and don't just ask for it in your building, if you work for a big organisation ask for them to do it nationally. Universities, shopping centres, wherever you go, this is a good thing.

    I haven't done any evaluations, so it might cost a bit more than paying for flushing water, but sooner or later we might run out of that, and these little cubes are being churned out of some factory or other like there's no tomorrow.

    You know it makes sense.

    I don't know anything of the kind. Most of this cr@p about water is just that ... cr@p.

    If I was going to do anything, then it would be working out a way to use seawater to flush the urinals. This would have the added advantage of stopping pets using the toilets as water bowls too.

    One of my clients is Melbourne Water. In their offices in East Melbourne they have zero water urinals. They work and don't smell.

    One of my dogs drinks sea water when were down at the beach. I can tell you with a great deal of authority that it goes through them like a dose of salts.

    Another thing to do is to replace your toilets with Composting Toilets. No water used and you can use the compost on your garden.

    Maybe Bogan is really Johnnie Howard and this is the 10 billion dollar water saving initiative.
