I am all about being green, but there is a limit.

So when it comes to being green, I am all about recycling and keeping my carbon foot print as low as possible. This being said, I was on the Eastside of Austin this past weekend and they took green to a whole new level.

As you can see, in the photo to the right instead of allowing you to flush the urinal they just filled it with ice. To, I am assuming to melt and wash away the nasty?? Not sure, but I can tell you how unsanitary this is. I steered away for this thing all night long, but others were coming out talking about back splash and things of that nature.

I love you hipsters on the Eastside, but I am going to just say that running water has been around for years and I really think we should start using it. I don't know if this works in the summer when it is warmer and the ice melts faster, but in the winter its cold in there and they ice is just chillin with pee in it. EW EW EW. Maybe up the price of the drinks by a quarter and pay to have that running water. ;)
