Green Your Throne

The last sentence in this article is the best one:"You can also try using a soda bottle filled with water."
It's done like this - take a plastic soda bottle or two and fill them with water and close them, then remove the lid of the water tank of your toilet - place the bottles in the tank so that the bottles don't disturb the movable parts within and so that the lid can be put in place again. When the tank fills next time it will fill with less water, so that each time it refills you'll save the same volume of water as in the soda bottles if they are fully submerged in the tank - we are most eco-friendly when we use, reuse, repair and maintain what we already have got, instead of buying new things. If it sounds difficult, do look for a DIY book in your library, and when you've found this out, easily, then - if possible - help neighbours, friends and relatives to do this easy adjustment - if I have managed to lift the lid of the water tank and place soda bottles in, you will, too, because I'm certainly not the handy man type...
