Would you allow a urinal to be installed in your home if you learned that it could help save the planet?

The newest low flush urinals use more than 6 times less water than a dual-flush toilet at half flush. 1 pint vs 0.8 US gallon.

Yes, installing a urinal would create some environmental damage in the short term, due to creating the urinal, renovating the bathroom, and material and installation costs, but the long term effects can be beneficial.

Women can use urinals too!

Do you want to get a low flush urinal in your home?

    I could save even more by peeing out of the window.

    I'd love to have one in my home. I hate wasting all of that water when I flush the toilet after relieving myself.

    I've never understood why they've not been a standard feature already, after all so many men **** in the sink already (and think that nobody notices, ha!). It would be stupid to demand that people install one though. That never works. People don't like being told what to do at home. However, if it becomes standard in new builds people will want that set up. Of course, we could just move to modern style squat toilets which would be better for our pelvic floors. In the grand scheme of things "sitting on the throne" has a short history. Even historians now think that the Romans squatted over those toilets in Pompeii that look so modern to us. Either way in a hundred years we'll have probably phased out water flushing toilets in much of the world for something both normal people and hippies can agree on. While very convenient at point of use ever since the beginning Mr Crapper's invention has had negative unintended consequences further down the line.
