DIY projects: Create your own eco-friendly toilet

Posted by Pinky Bean on March 7, 2009 8:40 AM Filed Under: Home

You could go out and buy yourself a brand-new water-efficient toilet, but really, who has that at the top of their priority list during a recession? Show of hands?

Instead, try a simple trick, as outlined in the video below, to save an estimated 16 per cent on your utlities bill and 7500 gallons of water per year. Hint: all you need is a half-gallon jug, which you can re-use when you're done with your weekly milk supply. And the best part: it will take you less than one minute. Seriously: watch the video. It's a mere 47 seconds long and by the end, you'll know how to conserve water with your toilet in roughly the same amount of time.

Leafy Green's Tip of the Day Did you know that many skin treatments, lotions and creams contain endocrine disruptors which can mess up the hormone function in your body and even cause breast cancer? Read the fine print on your cosmetics labels. Look out for any ingredients with the word 'paraben' in it such as methylparaben, propylparaben and ethylparaben. These are horrible substances that should be avoided at all costs!
