I think the following numbers were found in Israel, I don’t know how true they are esewhere. Also I don’t know where they come from, but I will quote them anyway:
40% of an avarage family’s water are spent flushing the toilet. I kid you not. Every time one flushes the toilet, 9-12 litters – depending on the type of toilet one has – of perfectly drinkable water go down the drain (pun not intended, but suffered).
What I do: when I give my kids a bath, I keep the water. Later, instead of flushing the toilet, I take a bucket of water from the bath and pour it in the toilet. It works fine, and, 40%, wow.
What else?.. I hardly ever use AC at home, I try to walk instead of drive when possible, I recycle as much as I can – recycling is not very big in Israel, and I consume arganic foods. I try to use ecologic cleaning materials where I can’t use vinegar or baking soda, and when I have a choice between imported and local products, I prefer the local.
And I haven’t flown in years…
I think I may copy this same entry and paste it under “be eccentric”.
