That tub is literally the coolest thing I have ever seen. I intend to buy some land on a mountain side just to make this a necessity.

Wow, how puritan can you get??? Who cares about the world…if something looks vaugely sexual (it didn't to me until you mentioned it…have you been using the “butterfly strap-on vibrator too much??) then one it should not be considered?

Or were you making a funny?

You can grow the trees again, they are not saying to cut down old growth forests. Wood is one of the few sustainable products we have…you prefer coal, or electricity? The amount of non-recyclable products that go into making solar panels is horrible too. Yes…this is very “green”.

The CO2 put out by people debating the subject is probably worse than what that small wood fire puts out once or twice a week.

This covers all the bases = saves you money, helps the environment, helps your health, makes you feel better, it's so easy to do and it costs less than $50.00; Save money and the Earth and be clean at the same time! Add Bathroom Bidet Sprayers to all your bathrooms. I think Dr. Oz on Oprah said it best: "if you had pee or poop on your hand, you wouldn't wipe it off with paper, would you? You'd wash it off” Available at www.bathroomsprayers.com with these you won't even need toilet paper any more, just a towel to dry off! Don’t worry, you can still leave some out for guests and can even make it the soft stuff without feeling guilty. It's cheap and can be installed without a plumber; and runs off the same water line to your toilet. You'll probably pay for it in a few months of toilet paper savings. As for water use a drought is always a concern and must be dealt with prudently but remember the water use of industrial users far exceeds the water use of household users and in the case of toilet paper manufacture it is huge. The pollution and significant power use from that manufacturing process also contributes to global warming so switching to a hand bidet sprayer and lowering your toilet paper use is very green in multiple ways.
