On Tuesday, a social media page named Fascinating shared a picture of an eco-friendly toilet on Twitter. The image shows a Japanese toilet with a sink attached to it. After washing your hands in the adjacent sink, you can use the dirty water for the next flush.
On many Japanese toilets, a hand wash sink is attached so that you can wash your hands and reuse the water for the next flush. By doing this, Japan saves millions of liters of water every year. pic.twitter.com/HmDGu73iqa

The caption read, “Many Japanese toilets have hand wash sinks so you can wash your hands and reuse the water for the next flush. By doing this, Japan saves millions of liters of water every year.”
The post has become an internet sensation since it was shared and has garnered 1.1 lakh likes. The post was re-shared by over 12,000 users on Twitter, and many praised the invention in the comment area of the post.
One user added some more information about the country’s innovative ideas: “Japan uses about 80 trillion liters of water per year. If we assume the OP’s “millions of liters per year” is accurate and up to 10 million, then This would save 0.000001% of Japan’s water use. Most of their use (as everywhere) is agriculture.”
“They also save material for an extra wash sink. I thought this design should be used globally,” commented another.
