The prevention of skid marks. Skid marks are usually caused by the toilet system. There are two basic systems the washdown, and siphonic, The siphonic helps wash away those embarassing, "they were here before me marks."

Dual Flush Toilets in Hotels (60% savings on water bill)
If you've ever been to Europe, you've seen the toilets that have two buttons for flushing: one for a 0.8-gallon flush for liquid waste and another for a 1.6-gallon release of water for--ahem--solids.
A recent New York Times article, "Will Americans Accept Greener Hotel Rooms?" asks why so few American hotels have adopted the dual-flush toilet when such water-salvaging and more eco-friendly loos are standard in hotel rooms around much of the world.
Poor Brian McGuinness, a vice president with Starwood Hotels and Resorts who is responsible for Starwood's eco-friendly Element brand, bears the burden of answering this question on behalf of the American public: Because consumers expressed concern that the dual-flush toilets would not work, the Times quotes him as saying.
It's a toilet. It flushes. End of story. If Europe has been using them for ages, what evidence is there that the water-saving device wouldn't work across the pond?
This logic is even more curious once the Times points out that the Hilton Palacio del Rio in San Antonio saw a 60-percent savings on its water bill after implementing the dual-flush toilets--at first leaving the hotel to wonder if its meter was broken.

We flush over 20 gallons of water per day.
According to the EPA, the average household flushes over 20 gallons of water per day, and as a population we flush close to 5 billion gallons of water everyday. To cut back on this staggering statistic we should start using Dual Flush Toilets. Dual flush toilets are mandatory in Australia, and are commonly used in Europe, and China. The US should be next up for the conversion over to the smarter low flow, green, Dual flush toilets.
