Aside from the low water toilets and showers, I thought green bathrooms included:

* reclaimed lumber
* reclaimed brick or stone
* wood from farm-grown trees vs endangered species
* sustainable woods like bamboo and cork
* salvaged doors
* salved hardware
* porcelain cast to look like stone vs actual stone (like slate)
* natural fabrics (i.e., cotton, woven bamboo)
* recycled and recyclable materials like glass tiles

The toilet stool-bowl-the thing you sit on?? It is elongated and not enough water pressure to move what is in the stool. Uncouth, maybe but fitting for the topic .

Those are great ideas for a green bathroom! Just a thought, but you should post that list in the comments section of the video. I know that they are always looking for more ideas!

Well, thank you very much! I'm looking at a house now and when it needs to be re-done I plan to make it as eco-friendly as I can.

I agree as well. I'd much rather have people waste water with high shower pressure than to walk around smelling foul odors from unclean people.
