Green Tip of the Week

Water Conservation Tip #1: Don't Flush it all away. Toilets are responsible for about 40 % of total indoor water use. If you have an older toilet, use a water displacement device to reduce the amount of flow per flush. A plastic bottle (or a glass one) filled with sand makes an easy DIY toilet modification . If you are upgrading a bathroom, invest in a high efficiency toilet. Read Sierra Club Green Home's toilets tips to determine which water-saving model works best for you at http://action.sierraclub.org/. Or keep a bucket in the shower to collect the water while it gets warm and flush the toilet with it.
