A Million Green Ideas

OK, I am really into the environment and I am always thinking of ways to clean it up. So how about this little gem of an idea: Stop using the toilet.

The toilet is an environmental disaster: All that water wasted and toilet paper not to mention all the poop and pee. The solution: Pee in the sink or outside, and poop in fast food bags you would just throw away anyway, and then put the bags in the trash.

I know this would work, but do you think the average American could handle it? Do you think we care enough?

No offense but that’s just plain silly
all waste water from your toilet gets treated by your local waste water plant
and if everyone did as you suggested, then things would be no better than it was in the middle ages, lots of disease comes from untreated waste and simply peeing outside is em brassing and indecent not to mention un treated and unprocessed poop can lead someone to be getting sick

Would pooping in a bag be better for the environment than using the toilet?

Right now the water cycle is a closed system. If hydrogen became a fuel source, how would that throw off the ecological balance of water in the environment?
Even if we recover hydrogen from water, is it a closed system or does it have leaks.

A bi-product would be produced. Some people say that would be acid.
