Only flush the toilet if you need to. It’s staggering how much water we would save if we flushed 2 times fewer a day. In the US alone, that would be (on average) 5 gallons per flush times 2 flushes times approximately 306,000,000 which equals over 3 billion gallons of water per day. That’s a lot of water! On a more personal level, in the average US household (of 2.5 people), that would be 25 gallons per day and 9,125 gallons a year. Small things can really add up. Cheaper water bills and more fresh water on the planet to drink. Win win!

What do you think?
i was chatting about this with an Australian friend of mine recently ... why are there no dual-flush toilets in the US? i’ve not seen one!
i agree that flushing the toilet only when necessary is a good idea - and how about introducing legislation that requires all new homes and replacement toilets to be dual flush?
don’t make it a choice - make it a legal requirement
