A New Idea

I had an idea that I think is worth looking at!  As our water is so precious and limited, why don't we use seawater in our toilets?  We do not drink the water, there is no reason to have as good of quality water getting flushed with our waste as the water we drink.  Sea water is obviously more in abundance as well, so we wouldn't be wasting something that is limited as a resource.  I googled this idea and see the Chinese have already implemented such a system: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2009summerdavos/2009-09/10/content_8675129.htm  Apparently it cut down 1/3 of their total water consumption as well as saved the city money.  Although this may not be realistic to try and implement in the inner United States, those on the East and West coast should not have a problem putting this into action!  I think this idea is worth petitioning your local congressman about!
