Bath: Caroma Sydney Smart Toilet by Julie

Issue 37 · Nature Inspired · September 9, 2008

Spotted on Daily Danny: the appealing, Euro-styled Caroma Dual-Flush water-saving toilet from Australia. The eco-minded Danny says, "If you haven't heard of Caroma, there's probably a very good reason: they are new to the US and hail all the way from Australia. In many parts of Australia, they've been facing a terrible drought that is considered one of the worst in the history of the country." So it's not a surprise that Australian company Caroma has developed a dual-flush toilet that uses .89 gallons or 1.6 gallons of water. Plus, we like the company slogan: "Conservation with Style."

Below: The Sydney Smart 305 Round Front Plus; starts at $299 at the Natural Abode.
