Sun-Mar composting toilets may look a little funny at first glance, and seem overpriced, but the benefits far outweigh the cost.
A 4-person household using a 3.5 gallon flush toilet will flush 70 gallons per day down the toilet or over 25,000 gallons per year.
An older 7 gallon toilet uses 140 gallons a day which equals 50,000 gallons a year.
Do you want to WASTE that much GOOD water to flush poop down the toilet? Think about it. Billions of gallons of purely good, drinkable water are being wasted every year by the flush of a toilet. Isn’t that insane?
Like it or not, our planet is running out of drinkable water. Our aquifers are being depleted by wasteful use of our most precious resource. The quest for the perfect lawn uses millions of gallons a DAY! California, really a desert, insists on being a lush tropical oasis complete with swimming pools in just about every yard! Desert paradise, Las Vegas, is gobbling up water with its obscene obsession for water waste as it caterers to tourists and an ever-expanding urban sprawl.
What about your neighborhood? What about you? Have you planted drought resistant plants and shrubs for your area? Have you made an effort to cut back on your watering? Have you thought about the benefits of drip irrigation instead of sprinklers?
Saving water is up to ALL of us. From our toilets to the yard — YOU — can make a difference… starting today!
