[Vision2020] Personal Water Savings

[Ralph Nielsen]

When I was in New Zealand and Australia a couple of years ago I  
noticed that the two-flush toilets were common in their hotels. You  
press the #1 button for minor flushes and the #2 button for a big  
flush. Simple.

In Japan Toto brand toilets are universal. The Hilton Garden Hotel  
near the Spokane airport also has Toto toilets (not named after  
Dorothy's little dog in the Wizard of Oz). They use a minimum of  
water. But the Hilton Garden has no volume control on the shower (in  
the tub, of course), so that sort of cancels out any saving of water  
the Totos might provide. And it also wastes a lot of heat for the hot  
water.
