Enjoy nature by camping and using a green bathroom

The Associated Press reports on the nation's first eco-friendly bathroom in a state park.

Campers at Grand Haven State Park in Michigan can now use the environmentally-friendly toilet and shower facilities that debuted in May.

Its green design features include low-flow toilets, timer-controlled showers, a sanitary sewer line and is partially powered by solar panels. It will use 40 percent less water than the old bathroom.

Michigan hopes to replace all of its state park restrooms with the green model.
