Singapore Gets 'Potty-Mouthed' For A Good Cause

By Elizabeth C.

CAN WE IMPORT THIS IDEA TO AMERICA?

Restroom Association (Singapore) is launching a campaign to encourage cleanup of that country's public toilets. The LOO campaign -- or "Let's Observer Ourselves"'-- is urging the cleanup of the city-state's 30,000 public restrooms, only 500 of which meets RAS' standards for cleanliness.

"For us, toilet etiquette reflects Singaporeans' culture. It tells people how civilized we are," RAS President Tan Puay Hoon said Thursday when his group released a 70-page report on the island's public johns. ""We are a First World country and we want a gracious society to reflect that."

RAP's "Happy Toilet Programme" ranks toilets from three to five stars. According to Reuters, four-star toilets have a diaper changing station or urinal for children; five stars are awarded to washrooms with "eco-friendly features."
