    A nationwide push to rid the country of old toilets could have a significant effect. If all toilets were high-efficiency, indoor water use could drop an additional 35 percent to below 40 gallons per person per day, a study projected.https://n.pr/2xxMQC9

        Freeing it up to be monumentally wasted by fracking, the production of the plastic bottles used for bottled water, & the growing of tropical crops in arid desert environments. This is good. It's a step, but waste comes in many, many, forms, including those of corporate profit.

        This is baloney.Our apt complex just put in brand new toilets.There is hardly any water in the bowl. To flush matter away takes 2-3 flushes or more. It's disgusting. Also the tank takes forever to fill & it is loud! Never had these problems with the old ones.

        Your slumlord installed some type of cheap toilets. New toilets 🚽 are very efficient. They use less water to flush one time and flushing is fast.

        All landlords are slumlords lately IMO. Apts were completely re-done! The cheapest cabinets, floors, rugs! I prefered the old well kept up cabinets, but no. Not one new thing works correctly, it scary.

        If you can't afford to replace your old high-volume toilet, fill a 2L soda bottle with water, after you remove the label, and place it in the tank. This shaves off half a gallon with each flush.

        Bricks can dissolve and clog pipes. Use a filled 2L soda bottle with the label removed.

        this is good but; 1 lb of meat costs 2400 gallons of water. It is like having shower for 6 months. yes, meat doesnt come to you as expensive but water still is being wasted.
