Add CommentThe VIP toilet is somewhat pointless. If you really want to go green, go with a composting toilet. They also suck air into the toilet. Although they do it to maintain optimal oxygen saturation of the compost, a nice side effect is that the odors are also sucked away. Much more green than a water hog and a waste of perfectly good manure.
