I created a facebook page called Consciously Green to give tips on how to reduce your impact. I want to spread awareness to as many people as I can. The tip I posted today is to put a full 20-ounce bottle in the toilet tank to reduce the amount of water it takes to fill and flush your toilet and to try the “if it’s yellow, let it mellow” technique. Try flushing every other time to save water.

If it’s yellow let it mellow is a good one - but I also recently saw a commercial in Brazil which gives the interesting idea of peeing in the shower. The water is running anyway, and will wash it all away. May sound a little gross, but once you get over the initial “yuck” factor, it’s really a great idea. Of course it doesn’t work for the entire day, but it’s one less flush & and a little less pee to stain your toilet!
