Peeing Green: Tips for Reducing Your Impact When You Go

It's funny - I'm somewhat known for discussing my toilet habits over at Planet Green's sister site TreeHugger. From the selective flush to the less controversial shared flush to the touchy subject of peeing in public, I haven't been backwards about coming forward about my tips for greening your number ones.

Still I've yet to enter into that territory here on Planet Green, and even my fellow TreeHuggers Collin and Lloyd only went as far as advocating low flow toilets and closing the lid in their bathroom tips. So what's up with that? Are Planet Green readers too squeamish to "let it mellow if it's yellow"? I suspect y'all are a more rugged bunch than we give you credit for - so here are a few tips for ans1wering nature's call without destroying the environment. No fancy technology or complicated DIY necessary.

(And for those who find this subject gross, let's just remember that the status quo of peeing in perfectly good drinking water and then flushing it down the drain is a little disgusting too.)
