"Bill Gates Crowns Toilet Innovators At Sanitation Fair"

"This week, Bill Gates was at a summer fair in Washington State, but he was not eating deep-fried butter on-a-stick, or checking out livestock. Gates was inspecting cutting-edge toilet technology on display at an event his foundation hosted in Seattle — the Reinvent the Toilet Fair."

Michaeleen Doucleff reports for Shots, NPR's health blog, August 15, 2012.
