Save Water by Placing a Plastic Bottle in Your Toilet Tank
This is a great way to reuse one of those plastic water bottles you still have from back before you switched to an eco-friendly reusable water bottle. You can reuse the bottle and keep it out of the landfill, while saving water every time you flush the toilet.
Simply weigh down the plastic bottle with sand or pebbles and place it in your toilet tank – away from all the important looking mechanical stuff that makes the toilet flush and such.
This is a great way to reduce your water usage if you don’t have a low flow toilet. The plastic water bottle in your toilet tank will displace the water in the tank (so your toilet tank won’t fill up as much) and will help you save between one half gallon and one gallon of water every time you flush. Plus, if you pay for water where you live, saving water means saving money, which is always a good thing.
