Greetings again,

A CBC report shows that time for change is now:
  
Sustainable design is more than just green talk

The Multoa, imported from Sweden, is a waterless composting toilet  
that has been approved by Environment Canada. The Multoa, imported

At a recent consumer home and garden show in B.C., one of the main  
attractions had nothing to do with furniture or garden tools. It was  
a little number imported from Sweden — a waterless composting toilet  
called the MullToa 60.

This eco-friendly biffy from Sunderland, Ont.-based Ecoethic Inc.  
sports a swan symbol and has a number of government endorsements  
under its lid — including Environment Canada's seal of approval. A  
product like this hasn't always generated excitement at a consumer  
show, but with the new focus on global warming, a lot of folks are  
changing their views on household accoutrements and talking in terms  
of sustainable design.

Sustainable design has become a catchword that is used — and  
abused — by a raft of manufacturers and environmental pundits today.  
It can be applied to anything from entire buildings to furniture and  
fixtures to the clothes you wear — and even the disposal of your own  
bodily waste. Some equate it to living green, others to eco- 
friendliness, others to bio-degradability and recyclability.

Huguette.
