Did you know?
Each flush wastes 3-5 gallons of water. Add that number to the amount of times you use the restroom each day, then add all those unnecessary times when you used your toilet as a waste basket- flushing down a tissue or cigarette butt because you didn’t feel like throwing it away. Now multiply that by every member in your family and you’ve got a lot of good water going down the drain. In fact, the US government believes that we flush approximately 40% of our all household water down the drain.
You use an average of 2.5 gallons of water for every minute that you shower.
Carrying as few as 100 extra pounds can decrease the average car’s fuel economy by 1-2 percent.
