Moonbats Crusade Against Toilets
Posted by Dave Blount at November 26, 2008 7:43 AM
Add toilets to the long list of amenities progressives want to take away from you on behalf of the polar bears:
Speaking at the recent World Toilet Summit in Macau, World Toilet Organisation founder Jack Sims said the concept of the flushing toilet was unsustainable.
Mr Sims said a culture where people flushed their loos but disregarded the thousands of litres of wasted drinking water each year was one of sanitation's greatest challenges.
"This 'flush and forget' attitude creates a new problem which we have to revisit," he said.
The solution to modern plumbing is the same one liberals propose for all problems real and imagined: more taxes.
There have already been calls by Australian experts to reduce the amount of water wasted through toilet flushing with a proposed new toilet tax.
Adelaide University's Water Management Professor Mike Young said the tax would encourage people to take shorter showers, recycle washing machine water or connect rainwater tanks to internal plumbing.
"Some people may go as far as not flushing their toilet as often, as the less sewage you produce the less the rate you pay," Professor Young said.
No doubt liberals will regard it as a step toward inclusiveness when the whole world starts to smell like a commune full of hippies.
The same article notes:
Lack of suitable toilets and sanitation kills approximately 1.8 million people a year, many of them children.
Had these children lived, think of the carbon they would have emitted!
