[Greenbuilding] 15,000 gallons to flush two shoeboxes

[Clarke Olsen]

      Good point, though overstated: that would be 26 flushes/day.  
One of the
      areas where humans diverge from the other primates is in the  
water content
      of their/our excrement. Theirs is drier, kinda like comparing  
pigs and bears
      to deer and wabbits.....
