Call me a dork but I think these toilets are awesome. I really hope to own a house soon & if I do composting toilets are something I will definitely get into. Even their water using toilet only uses 2 cups (1 pint) of water compared to the average of about 32-48 cups (2-3 gallons) per flush. That's just amazing! Another great thing is all the energy saved by composting your own waste instead of having it go to a waste facility to be treated. It's also a lot safer for the environment because I know here in Portland we have a big overflow problem. All that energy saved & then all those wonderful nutrients enriching your soil on your property, why wouldn't you want this? What a wonderful thing.

the cheap stuff will always make them gain weight. If you feed him something better, you'll notice the difference right away and he will live longer. Royal Canin is by far one of the best, but you can tell whats good just by looking at the ingredients.

hahahaha my parents have no clue and i tend to keep it that way. I think no parent really wants this kind of thing for their little girl.
