Flush toilets use too much water. 
Can we invent a better one?

DW Planet A

Flush toilets are an ecological nightmare. They take at least six liters of water to flush poop! Our sewer systems haven't changed much for centuries and are unfit for a world of climate change and booming populations. Is there a less wasteful way to dispose of our waste? We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
