If you\u2019re serious about saving energy, you\u2019ll analyze how you use it in every room in your home and make the efficiency improvements you can.<\/p>\n
So, let\u2019s take a look at your bathroom and see what gains you can make:<\/p>\n
1. Collect the Cold Shower Water<\/strong><\/p>\n You know those seconds that pass while you wait for your shower to heat up?<\/p>\n That\u2019s water, well, down the drain!<\/p>\n So, collect it in a bucket. Then use that water for your lawn or garden!<\/p>\n 2. Time for a Low-Flow Showerhead<\/strong><\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to make yourself miserable to save energy. Certainly, some tips will take you down that route.<\/p>\n But truly, you don\u2019t have to sacrifice much comfort to save.<\/p>\n Many low-flow showerheads can be found which still provide you plenty of water to take a satisfying shower, while also saving water.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t get one that makes you happy at first, try another.<\/p>\n 3. Add a Faucet Aerator <\/strong><\/p>\n You won\u2019t even notice any change with this one. An aerator connects to the end of your faucet and adds more air to the water you use.<\/p>\n While you use less water because of this, you still get all the water you need to do the task at hand.<\/p>\n 4. Install a Low-Flow Toilet <\/strong><\/p>\n Your toilet needs no more than 1.6 gallons per flush to do its job.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t know how much water your toilet needs, Google the make and model to find out.<\/p>\n If it\u2019s in your budget, install a new toilet. If not, add a plastic bottle filled with water to your toilet\u2019s tank.<\/p>\n What\u2019s that accomplish?<\/p>\n It takes up space that water would otherwise use. And that now-absent water doesn\u2019t get flushed with each press of a handle.<\/p>\n More water saved without any sacrifices on your part!<\/p>\n
