Tree-hugging? They only make a certain amount of fresh water, the majority of that is used by other parts of the ship.

Seems to me the ships I've served aboard had salt water flushing systems...fresh water was needed for truly important things like launching aircraft off the pointy end with steam powered catapults.

On ship, the toilet plumbing systems use salt water, which is free for the taking. They’re not running fresh water through the johns.
