Seems the Japanese environmental protection agency has launched a campaign to get folks to put the toilet seat down...something about reducing CO2 emissions. Now if only we could harness all that methane gas...

Briefcase Toilet

Continuing our movable toilet theme, check this one out: for the busy executive or traveling salesperson, I guess! Hopefully you won't leak poop or pee onto that important document you have to get signed by the client in Amsterdam...!! From Trendhunter Magazine.

Toilets to Go--With "Dignity"

Here's the latest in "green toilets" (and NO, I'm not referring to how it will look after you use it!): a portable toilet you screw into the ground, use for about a week, and then unscrew and move to a different location! Crazy!
