Eco-Princess

The Japanese have invented an intriguing new ‘eco toy’ designed to save a vast quantity of water each hour, day, week, year and so forth.

They have designed something called the ‘Eco-Princess’ line, which provides keyrings and other accessories that make the sound of a flushing loo! Bewildered? Let me explain.

If you have ever visited Japan you will know, well if you are a woman that is, that the gentile women-folk of Nippon do not like to be overheard when going to the loo in public, so it is their habit to flush the loo, during and then again, after. This obviously is a huge waste of water. Some upmarket establishments have installed a little device on the walls of the loo which you can press and it plays a flushing sound! So now, joy of joys the less well-healed can bring along their own.

So, if you are stuck for the ideal Christmas present for the woman who has everything, here is the answer!

Visually and conceptually incredible! It makes you wonder,  if as a race, we can dream and create such amazing, natural structures, why are we killing ourselves trying to live in the urban concrete jungle???
