Collecting rain water for toilets seems like a very clever idea.
FTA:
While it doesn’t come close to making up for our gas-guzzling, high-consuming lifestyles, rain harvesting does have a positive impact on our environment. Domestic potable water collection requires effort, energy, and chemicals for purification and transport. Toilets use 20 to 25% of water consumed in a residential house. Why are we flushing drinkable water down the toilet? In some other countries of the world, rainwater harvesting on a residential level is a mandatory part of building codes.

In reponse to your last blog “you should give a shit”
The answer to your question “Why are we flushing drinkable water down the toilet?” is to flush the shit down…. Otherwise you would end up with a toilet full of shit, and that would not be very good. So your question should be “Why dont we flush non drinkable water down the toilet?”

many thanks for the tip. in return, I’ve got three for you:
1) those words were a quotation from the original article (FTA) rather than my own;
2) here is the Wikipedia entry for “Rhetorical question”;
3) THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE!
