Flushless Urinals
I'm betting some of you are curious why there would be any fuss over flushless urinals. That's why someone made a Treehugger: Case Study for Flushless Urinals. I want to know why it's inappropriate for homes to have urinals? I'll allow that conventional bathroom design doesn't really allow for extra furnishings, but I'm trying to think about all the water we'd save. So until we all have stillsuits, let's hear the alternative flushless urinal locations! My vote is: Garage

I'll have to think about where a urinal would come in handy, but I did want to say that after reading your linked article I find myself having the same thoughts I was having during a meeting I just got out of, strangely enough.
Particularly, the article states "replacing current urinals with flushless ones at the French Campus would lead to $800 of savings, while the best case scenario would result in savings of around $40,000." In our meeting, we were talking about some proposed system enhancement that would save electric consumers something around $1 mil.
Maybe I don't understand how Cost-Benefit Analyses work, but shouldn't these savings be at some rate instead of a constant dollar amount? Like $1 mil/year, or $800/month or year or 10,000 flushes?
Whoops, come to think of it I guess that should say 10,000 "whizzes," or "prevented flushes."
I want a urinal now. Beyond savings, they represent triumph over anarchy.
Anarchy, huh... is that what your wife calls it when you piss all over the floor?
