Green Piece - A flush in the pan?
We all know that we should be doing more to help ease our effects on the environment so we’ve decided to bring you Green Piece - a look at the latest green gadgets around.
This week we’ve stumbled upon the "Wash Up", courtesy of GadgetLite. Ever wondered how all of that water from your washing machine could be put to good use? Wonder no more because Sevin Coskun has designed this unique washing machine/toilet combo.
The washing machine is stacked on top of your toilet so not only is it easier to load but it also stores all of the water used to clean your clothes in a reservoir that can then be used to flush the toilet.
We use up to 120 litres of water when we wash the average load of washing and 9.5 litres when flushing the toilet so this is a great green gadget. Opinions are pretty mixed on this so let us know what you think!
Those who find the concept a little disturbing can still do their bit by investing in an energy efficient washing machine.

I think this looks like a really clever idea - getting 12.6 flushes for free can’t be bad.
I wonder how much it costs?
