Just about everyone has "low flow" toilets, just in case they were not aware of it. That change was made many years ago under federal law.
There are even lower-flow toilets, as well as "dual-flush" toilets available, but those are above and beyond the low flush toilets we now almost all use.
If building departments, environmental conservation and the health departments (as applicable to ones locality) would get with the twentieth century (much less the twenty-first century) and stop living in the dark ages, people could avail themselves of a variety of time-tested greywater reclamation methods which could significantly decrease water usage and increase overall system efficiency in a home that employs such a system, allowing the use of higher capacity toilets that flush better, with much less water waste. These agencies are always way behind the technology curve when it comes to new energy efficient and other green building techniques.

Good to see Rand Paul and Michele Bachmann addressing issues that affect us all: toilet bowls and light bulbs. This is why we put Republicans in charge! God bless them!
Something wrong with the old light bulbs?
And don't get me started on "water saving" flush twice toilets!
I live in Michigan.
Why do I need a "water saving" toilet?
And why would anyone concerned about the environment trade bulbs made with Argon and Tungsten for those made with Mercury?
Never mind the new ones are made in Mexico and China.
I guess the last thing we needed in the US of A is a factory producing an American product we invented.

Great post.
I really like the dual-flush toilets that are used all around Europe.
It's light bulbs that momonkey was talking about. Re-read his post.
