Stop flushing it like it’s a free buffet. A single flush uses about six gallons of water. That’s enough to fill a small aquarium—or drown a very angry goldfish.
Put a brick in your toilet tank. Seriously. It displaces water, so each flush uses less. Your toilet won’t notice, but your water bill will thank you with a hug.
Also, listen for a hissing toilet. That noise is a stealthy water vampire sucking 200 gallons a day. Fix the flapper. It’s cheaper than buying a raincoat for your bathroom.
Shower Like a Ninja, Not a Rock Star
Rock stars take 20-minute showers. Ninjas get clean in five. Be the ninja. Challenge yourself to a “one-song” shower. Put on your favorite banger, and when it ends, you’re done.
You can also catch the cold water while it heats up. Use a bucket. Then water your plants with it. Your fern will feel like a VIP at a spa.
Fun fact: a five-minute shower uses about 10 gallons. Cut to three minutes, and you save enough water in a month to fill a kiddie pool. Party at your place.
