Green toilet


This from DailyCandy.com (and no I'm not a regular reader):
Take a baby step toward redemption with the Toilet Lid Sink. Just switch your regular toilet lid for this easy-to-install, space-saving, water-conservation device. And consider it an easier way to save water than your current brick-in-tank method.
When you flush as usual, clean water (yes, it’s really clean) automatically spouts through the spigot. So you can, um, wash your hands, er, on the toilet. (Hey! It’s efficient water use!) Everything then drains at the same time.
Basically the toilet uses water from the sink to flush out the toilet.
Not bad, just a little creepy. The cost is $89.
With each flush of your commode, clean water that would otherwise go straight down the toilet is first routed up through a chrome gooseneck spigot to dispense pure water for hand washing. The Toilet Lid Sink installs easily without tools, is attractive for any bathroom and is a great space saver. Shuts off automatically. Porcelain-like white plastic replaces your existing tank top and adjusts to fit standard toilets up to 8in wide and 18-22in long. Built-in soap dish. Overhang varies up to 1.5in.
Mandy says it's disgusting and washing hands and toilet use shouldn't be combined - at least not in the same fixture. "You should wash your hands - just not in the toilet." Although she said it might encourage more people to wash their hands.
