Dave Barry's take on the
2004 World Toilet Summit
Washington Post 11/14/04
_______________
Lower
East Side Restroom Could Become Tourism Center
_______________
... Despite improvements that have surfaced in various locales nationwide, Anthony doesn't expect to see dramatic changes in public-restroom design anytime soon. In part, that's because public-restroom users aren't an organized or politically powerful constituency -- unlike those who lobbied for accommodations through the Americans With Disabilities Act. Before real change can occur, she said, architects need to speak out, and legislators must draft laws
...From
Architecture Professor Kathryn Anthony, PhD University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
'Authors advocate more and better women's restrooms in public facilities' Public release date: 31-Aug-2004
----------------------
If you think public restrooms in America stink, you're not alone. A new group, the North American Restroom Association, is fighting for better bathrooms -- and more of them. "The truth is, our country is far behind when it comes to public bathroom rights," says NARA co-founder Steven Soifer, a professor of social work at the University of Maryland. "In places like Japan, there are public groups that make sure there are cleaner, safer toilets in shopping centers, bus stations and airports. Why can't we have an advocate group like that in America to steer people away from nightmarish situations?"
,...
From: New American Group Wants Public Restrooms Rated
Buck Wolf entertainment producer, ABC News 11/16/04
----------------------
It's archaic, disgusting and gross to have to use one's hands to flush a toilet even in one's home. Please bring the world up to date with only a foot operated flushing device. This too, will inspire more people to flush and save all the extra paper used to cover the handle prior to flushing. Further, urinals should be available with a fly or spot emblazoned on the back wall. This will provide a target for men to help improve their aim.
Thank you, Mother of Movers and Shakers
----------------------
My daughter works for Johnson & Johnson. She was told that a flush can project up to 40 feet in the air! Therefore should not ALL toilets have a cover on them with directions to CLOSE the lid before flushing? Most public toilets do not! That is scary with all the diseases that seem to mysteriously develop.
Thank you for providing a way to communicate my concerns. I hope that the World Toilet Convention continues to "move" people in the right direction! (Okay...a little joke is unavoidable here..I read about your convention in the Dave Barry newspaper column.) Have a great day! . -Marian
