Recommendable! A wonderful example how fanatic and extreme environmentalism has gone overboard and was never corrected to this day!
"... Leave it to the United States Congress to revert the progress of millennia. In 1992, a new law was passed (the Energy Policy Act) that came into effect in 1994. That law mandated that all toilets sold in the United States use no more than 1.6 gallons, which was less than half the water usually used in every flush. ...
Then there was a huge shift in the toilet paper market. Paper once used only for the most primitive systems and in prisons suddenly became common. ...
Black markets developed. You could briefly buy large tank toilets online, but those ran out. Then a porcelain-running market developed between the US and Canada, until border control tightened. Fines increased to $2,500 for any plumber in the US who installed one, and inspectors were forced to report them."
The result was awful. People would buy new toilets or move into new homes and be startled to discover that something they had taken for granted for ages suddenly stopped working.
Why is my new toilet causing so many problems? Why is it clogging all the time? What is that strange stink? Why am I ... looking for that ... plunger? ...Then there was a huge shift in the toilet paper market. Paper once used only for the most primitive systems and in prisons suddenly became common. ...
