It's not easy being green

This is an absolutely brilliant invention. I totally love the idea of collecting rainwater and putting it to good use. Why should we use perfectly fresh drinkable water for our loo’s? Americans can really be quite wasteful with natural resources, it can be so gluttonous, and it seems that the general public never really realizes the impact they are having on their environment, or how simple it can be to affect change. The design is so good, and such a perfectly reasonable idea. Why is this not used in modern building practices? It seems so common sense to me, but then again, so does recycling, and green building techniques. There seems to be a lot of perfectly good and reasonable technology going to waste due to some reluctance to change, and it is so frustrating to witness this. We have these amazing capabilities as humans to live green, efficient, resourceful and responsible lives, to be progressive and minimize the worsening effect we have on this earth, and yet we continue to ignore these technologies, these brilliant inventions created from the brilliant human mind. I will always remain baffled by this. I just can’t wait until I have real adult income, and build a home which is green and responsible, put my money where my mouth is, and maybe influence others as well.
