Source: theglobeandmail.comWhen international delegates come to see the Toronto region's greenest building technologies this week, they will be sent to the restrooms.
No ordinary washrooms, but odourless, chemical-free, composting toilets. The facilities, built for a new Toronto and Region Conservation Authority building, look like the regular ceramic bathroom variety, but without water or a refillable bowl.
They are thought to be the first used in an office setting in Canada and will be showcased to representatives from 30 countries as part of the World Green Business Council Congress. The event, which began yesterday and runs to Wednesday, will focus on green initiatives such as the toilets at the TRCA's restoration services building in Vaughan.
