Think twice before adding that second (or third) bathroom! How many places to get clean does one family need?
Reuse
Have a green thumb? Turn that bowl into a planter for your flowers!

The Environmental Story
Toilets are bulky items that take up an enormous amount of space in the landfill and don’t decompose quickly, to say the least. Porcelain can be ground down and used to make new porcelain items—it can also make an excellent drainage material. It’s a great substitute for gravel and can be used as a road base on highways.
