Most of the things they we do in life are the result of our subconscious. We don't think too much about everyday things. With the changes in daily habits we can help the environment in which we live. That dosen't mean you have to be perfect, just change some of your habits.
Check out some usefull tips to get Green:
1. Turn off all electronics
Don't let TV, computer and even microwaves on when you don't need it. Plug this devices out of power. When you leave for work in the morning turn off all lights.
2. 100% recycled toilet paper
Why use of color toilet paper which contain non recycled pain? You can find 100% recycled fiber products in your grocery store. Also keep your eye out for other recycled products, such as napkins and printer paper. Your booty won't know the difference☺
3. Cold water
Cold water is not just for drinking. We use to much energy to warm it up. You can wash underwear and pillowcases in hot or warm water, and wash the rest in cold water.
4. You are not driving Formula1
Are you realy every time when you sit in car in hurry? Get slow, don't push the car to limit. Whit that you can save some fuel and help nature.
5. By Eco cleaning products
When you see TV ad whit nice cleaning product that help you to clean fast and easy, don't fall on it. Instead of that buy in local store some Eco cleaning product whit less anorganic chemicals.

Flush toilet whit rainwater
Some ideas are really great. One of thosr is use of rainwater insted of normal drinking water.
Maybe you didn't know but on average, every man and woman on the day of consumption spend 50 liters of pure water. And if you multiply this number whit 365 days per year you get a consumption of 18250 liters of water for just one person.
So from this amount we use spend about 25 % water for toilet. This is a crazy waste of expensively processed potable water, and so every home-owner should consider if a rain water fed toilet flush is practical for their property.
As the image above shows, the concept is very simple. A water butt (rain barrel) is filled directly or via a (or rainwater diverter) by the rainwater which lands on the roof, runs along the guttering, and flows down a downpipe. This container is then connected to the toilet with a pipe. The whole set up should cost no more than 100 – 150 EUR and a couple of hours of your time.
Even more sofisticated system is evalibale whit electronic and pump:
So what water you will use next time?
