Save Water With Greenflush

This has to be one the easiest tips I’ve seen in a long time! Common sense say it should work. By adding a little weight to your flapper not only will it close faster, but I’d assume you’ll have a tighter fit on the valve which should also prevent leaks.

It may not be sexy, but this simple little toilet accessory may save a lot of water. The standard toilet tank flapper can form a leaky seal, or simply lower too slowly to stop water flowing into your toilet bowl. One estimate has leaky flappers wasting an estimated 11 million gallons of water a minute in the USA.

The weighted Greenflush valve closes much faster than the traditional flapper. The Greenflush, which is said to install in 30 seconds, is estimated to reduce a typical 2 or 3 gallon flush to 1 gallon. It also works with newer low-flow toilets.

It sells for $19.95 – but hey if it works it will pay for itself very quickly.

Pledge and win prizes!

I’ve made my pledge, have you? You can save money, and protect the environment today by learning why bottled water is bad for the environment, and joining thousands of others who have pledged to stop buying tap water and wasting oil by switching to a reusable bottle. Did I also mention that by taking the pledge and getting others involved, you can potentially win one of several great prizes?

Check it out below:

Break the Bottled Water Habit, Win a Prize and Cut Your Carbon

When you want pure, healthy drinking water, you should reach for bottled water, right? Surprisingly, on neither a personal nor a global level are you making a healthy choice.

For each gallon of water bottled, two gallons are wasted; producing the plastic wastes the energy equivalent of a quarter-bottle’s worth of oil. And what’s in the bottle could just be tap water.

New American Dream and Corporate Accountability International is asking you to think about where the water in that bottle came from, where the plastic is going, and take the Break the Bottled Water Habit pledge(water.newdream.org) and drink to a healthy ecosystem.

During October, make a conscious choice to slake your thirst without drying up our planet’s resources. In addition to benefiting the environment, participants will have a chance to win a free condo for a week at a ski resort in Idaho. Visit the website (water.newdream.org) now to get started.
