Marcus is right dual flush is a great answer to water conservation when it comes to the toilet. Most people don’t even know about them much less the fact that their current toilet can be converted with ease. SelectAFlush at http://www.dualflushkit.com has come up with great solutions to the conversion of most toilets.

High-efficiency toilets, a trademark applicable only to fixtures which do the job with only one flush, use only 1.28 gpf. Some are dual-flush technology, others not. They do not frighten the general public and designers as some no-mix toilets can.

Toilets account for approx. 30% of water used indoors. By installing a Dual Flush toilet you can save between 40% and 70% of drinking water being flushed down the toilet, depending how old the toilet is you are going to replace.
If you are serious about saving water, want a toilet that really works and is affordable, I would highly recommend a Caroma Dual Flush toilet. Caroma toilets offer a patented dual flush technology consisting of a 0.8 Gal flush for liquid waste and a 1.6 Gal flush for solids. On an average of 5 uses a day (4 liquid/ 1 solid) a Caroma Dual Flush toilet uses an average of 0.96 gallons per flush. The new Sydney Smart uses only 1.28 and 0.8 gpf, that is an average of 0.89 gallons per flush. This is the lowest water consumption of any toilet available in the US. Caroma, an Australian company set the standard by giving the world its first successful two button dual flush system in the nineteen eighties and has since perfected the technology. Also, with a full 3.5″ trapway, these toilets virtually never clog. All of Caroma’s toilets are on the list of WaterSense labeled HET’s http://www.epa.gov/watersense/pp/find_het.htm and also qualify for several toilet rebate programs available in the US.

Average cost of sewer and water per 1000 gallons is 7.08 and rising. Dual flush toilets are a viable way to significantly cut down on water and sewage use. As for men peeing sit down hmmmm.
