Green Your Water Use: Toilets
This is a big week for environmentalists: We'll celebrate Earth Day on April 22. To protect one of our planet's most precious resources, this week's tips will focus on water conservation.
Tip #1: Don't Flush It All Away
Toilets are responsible for about 40 percent 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 filled with sand makes an easy DIY toilet modification. If you're upgrading a bathroom, invest in a high-efficiency toilet. Read Sierra Club Green Home's toilet tips to determine which water-saving model is best for you.
