Recycling your toilet helps you go green because...
It keeps the porcelain out of landfills, saving space.
It can be used to create other materials so they don't have to be manufactured anew.
Toilets are made of porcelain, which is generally comprised of clay, among other materials. Porcelain products can often be ground down and used to make new porcelain items. Recycled toilet porcelain makes an excellent porous drainage material. It's a good substitute for gravel and can also be used as road base in state highways.
Crushed toilets and other porcelain items were used to shape artificial oyster reefs in the Chesapeake Bay instead of the traditional oyster shells. Environmentalists came upon this idea to revive native oyster populations following decades of disease, pollution, and habitat loss in the region. However, transporting the toilets and other porcelain goods proved to be more expensive than transporting the shells, so this method likely won't catch on until it becomes cheaper.
Trash Can Disappear
You didn't throw it away if you can't see it. No landfills... and no garbage trucks burning diesel fuel as they cart around your average American's daily 4.5 pounds of refuse. Unfortunately, it's just an optical illusion. THE TRASH PROBLEM IS REAL!!!
