It will save you 2 litres of water every time you flush your toilet. Saves money and environment at the same time ;) In order to save water in your toilet you can also do one trick: if you have old toilet system (9 litres or more) you can take 2 Litres lemonade bottle, fill it with water and put in the toilet system.

We definitely employ the 'if it's yellow let it mellow' technique. Also, I just ordered a shampoo bar from Blue House Soaps (because of a suggestion from one of your previous blogs). Another blogger recently suggested to me that we install a bathroom sprayer in our bathroom (like a bidet, but not an entirely separate toilet fixture like the one in the picture, just a sprayer to attach to our toilet) to cut down on toilet paper waste.

It must be in the air. You have some great tips. I like the stop flushing so much. My husband says it's gross but he isn't home all day so oh, well! LOL! I just wrote about cleaning too!

I have see cloth Wipes at Wallypop (I think that's the site). I thought about just making some too. I use Gladrags feminine products and love them. Same set for nearly a decade it seems!

I wanted to share that we have a shower head where you can turn off the flow of water near the head part which is what we do when we are soaping up in the shower. And...our last water bill showed a use of 1,500 less gallons of water in a period of 60 days!! I was so excited to see this change. We also have a low flow toilet and have been practicing less flushing for a few years now. My next endeavor is to put a little bit of water in a cup to use for teeth brushing rather than turning the tap on and off. I did it when I lived overseas and had to filter all of my water and I think I can work it in as a habit again! Every little bit helps. I love reading your blog!! Great information!

Target carries the "safe" shower curtains. Save some green as you go green. I noticed that Costco had a showerhead like this and their prices are usually better.

We line dry everything and only have one bamboo towel, it's the only one that stays soft and it's obviously my favorite one. I'll steal it from the other bathroom if I have to :) Amen on the bamboo towels!

I bought one last year and tried it, but after about 2 1/2 months, my hair still didn't feel "right". It seemed very oily to me. But...I was pregnant at the time and decided to stop using it and try again after the baby was born and my hormones weren't so crazy! So hopefully this time, it will work out better for me : ) Thanks for reminding me about my shampoo bar.
