Did you know the average American family uses 102, 000 gallons of water every year and that toilets use the most water in the home? 9,000 gallons of water per person a year to be exact! If you don’t have one of those new high efficiency toilets, do your part to conserve water by filling one or two empty plastic soda bottles with water and place in your toilet tank. You’ll save water and recycle the bottles at the same time. You can save about one third of your water in the tank this way - that's 3,000 gallons of water per person!!
