Where would we be if we were unable to cleanly dispose of our wastes? Luckily, toilets have been able to do more for us as new ideas are developed to make our lives better.
Many people just assume that Thomas Crapper invented the flush toilet, but in fact that was not the case. Actually the word “crap” didn’t come from Crapper either. While Thomas Crapper wasn’t really the inventor of the flush toilet, he was its most famous marketer. He made the modern bathroom into much more than a “water closet” by making decorative and functional bathroom accessories available to the general public.

Today the bidet is becoming more and more popular around the world. Now that it is becoming more important and more fashionable to be concerned about the environment, many people think that using a bidet instead of cutting down trees for toilet paper could help save our precious resources. This seems like a bit of a stretch, since some toilet paper would still have to be used to dry off. Then there’s the additional use of water. Of course, producing toilet paper uses a lot of water, so perhaps there would be a slight advantage.
Drying off with a bidet certainly is an issue, and there are some combination toilet and bidets that also have a built in heater that would help you dry off. While it is true that the bidet is not a very popular item in North America, the odds are that its popularity will grow as people look for new ways to cut down on waste.
More modern toilet technology suggests the possibility that our wastes are going to waste. Solid wastes might one day be used for fertilizer, or as a source of methane gas. Liquids would be cleaned and turned into drinking water. With everyone becoming more environmentally friendly, maybe it is only right that we humans should put our waste products to good use.
