Guidelines 1 to 10 of 10
-
Conserve water in the bathroom.
- By using a low flow shower head, a toilet water displacement
device, by taking showers instead of baths and letting the "yellow mellow", one can conserve an enormous amount of
water.
-
Fix leaky faucets and "running" toilets.
- Sometimes jiggling the handle isn't enough. That leaky faucet or "running" toilet wastes thousands of gallons of water a month and will finally give you a little peace and quiet.
-
Flush only when neccessary.
- Reducing the number of toilet flushes per day, by "letting the yellow mellow" can save an enormous amount of water.
-
Recycle used deodorant containers.
- Most deodorant containers are made from recycleable plastic. Let's keep this out of our landfills and away from degrading into
our water supply!
-
Share a shower with your friend or loved one!
- Two can shower as fast and efficiently as one. Not only will you save water but you can get help cleaning those hard to reach areas!
-
Use cloth diapers.
- They say that 1% of all American landfill space is occupied
by disposable diapers which take up to 500 years to decompose. Cotton can be reused 100 times and decomposes in
1-6 months. Reduce landfill glut and save natural resources, use cloth diapers.
-
Use cloth wipes instead of toilet paper or baby wipes
- If you cloth diaper, chances are you use cloth wipes...why not use cloth wipes instead of TP for the rest of the family? Of course, I always leave a package around for guests but even then it is recycled.
-
Use concentrated products.
- Use concentrated products, such as juice, laundry detergent, and other cleaners, when available. Concentrated products reduce packaging waste and save money.
-
Use low flow shower heads.
- Low flow shower heads conserve water by reducing the amount of water while increasing water pressure.
-
Use toilet paper containing 50% or more of post consumer waste.
- If saving old growth forests is your interest, using recycled
toilet paper is an important purchase decision. Post consumer
products are the best way to reduce deforestation.
