Review of No-Water Urinals


This is the second piece I have listened to in the Your Choice, Your Planet series produced by the Great Lakes Radio Consortium, and both have proven to be engaging and informative. In addition they provide listeners an insight into innovative and environmentally sound technologies and practices that will become essential in a future where mountains of waste are being generated and untainted water supplies are dwindling. With widespread uptake of waterless urinals huge quantities of water could be saved (some qualitative data would have enhanced the piece) and airing this piece may encourage facilities managers everywhere to think a little differently about the men's room. All that being said, when airing this piece it might be a good time to disengage the minds eye!
