Japan Asks You to ‘Love the Toilet’

The Japanese toilet Institute (yes there is such a thing) has started a new campaign for Japanese on how to use the toilets. The campaign is called “Let’s love the toilet.”

What is it with Japan and toilets? From riding them, to building diamond-encrusted toilets in an effort to “honor the commode.” And just check out the sophisticated Japanese toilet in the picture!

“Let’s Love the Toilet” was prompted by a study that revealed that men use an average of 52 inches of paper per toilet visit, while women use an average almost 39 inches.

While this information may seem odd, Weird Asia News points out that the study reflects “the nation’s need to save trees by cutting back on paper consumption, even though the last thing on one’s mind when entering even the most sophisticated commode is saving the planet and living a greener life.”

Thus, the aim of the campaign is to educate the people on how to leave the toilet for the next person, how to save on toilet paper, etc.

I have an idea on how to save toilet paper. Don’t make the toilets fancier and more comfortable-looking than most people’s living room furniture.
