Another case of "It sounds good, but . . ."

Another case of green run amok -- in "Let's feel good about ourselves" mode, the City Council of Austin approved a plan to help apartment complexes install water-efficient toilets so they could be ecologically responsible. Now they have another problem -- old toilets are choking the landfills -- about 280 tons worth. The city has no recycling program for porcelain, so there they will sit. I think those old toilets and the city council that passed this thing are both full of the same stuff.
