I’m In Love With A….. Toilet? Yes, You Heard That Right!
As the title says, I have been intrigued by a toilet. What has become of me? The other day, as I ever-so-graciously tinkled in a Los Angeles restaurant restroom, I noticed the sound of water was absent. At first, in all honesty, I thought I was missing the toilet (yes, I’m a man), but realized the toilet was one of the new waterless urinals, which induced a few ohhh’s and ahhh’s on my part. I’ve always been the type of person to hate flushing the toilet in public after peeing (too much information, I know, sorry) because odd, fanatical calculations would run though my head. For example, if each flush downs 1.6 gallons of water, and 25 people use the toilet in an hour, for 10 hours a day, 400 gallons are wasted per day or 2,800 gallons per week.

This location is to serve as a “learning lab” to help better McDonald’s locations across the world by testing various green products for functionality before implementing them on a large scale. Smart move.

And, I’m happy to say, the United States is truly stepping up to the plate. According to a report released by the U.S. Department of Energy, in 2008 the U.S. was home to the largest spike in wind power development throughout the globe, with wind capacity increasing a whopping 60%.
