Green Idea of the Day 7 - Flush it Green!

Yep! Toilets have turned hi-tech and eco-friendly by reducing the water used per flush.

By U.S. federal decree, new toilets must flush with no more than 1.6 gallons of water(see http://www.toiletology.com/low-flow.shtml). But several new models feature dual-flush buttons that let you opt for a mighty 1.6-gallon whoosh or a gentle .8-gallon splash. Also available are models that use less than 1.6 gallons(Flushmate IV). Next time you install a toilet, make sure you think about low consumption toilets.
