Old toilets are now being used to help clean the water in Tampa Bay! It's a unique pilot program that's brought two local agencies together with the same goal of protecting the environment. Tampa Bay Water has a program that encourages and even helps people conserve water. One of the ways the organization does that is by providing rebates for folks who get rid of their water-guzzling, old toilet and replace it with a high-efficiency one. But then, that old toilet winds up in a landfill, which is another problem altogether. Recently, Amelia Brown, who works for Tampa Bay Water came up with a great idea. "We approached Tampa Bay Watch to see if they'd be interested in using some crushed-up porcelain from old toilets to mix it into their concrete mixture, put it in the mold, and set it out in the water," Brown said. "And to our delight, they were excited to try this pilot program."
