❶ Water Efficient Faucets
Water efficient faucets are a great option for an eco-friendly approach to plumbing. They use 30% less water than a normal faucet. In fact, they use a maximum of 1 ½ gallons of water per minute, making them an excellent, no-fuss addition to your green living plan. Not only do they function and perform just as well as a standard faucet, they are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) too!
❷ High-Efficiency Shower Heads
It is said that the average family of 4 goes through approximately 40 gallons of water every day, but just in showers alone! That estimate does not include washing hands, rinsing dishes, watering the garden, flushing the toilet, running the dishwasher, or doing laundry! Fortunately, installing a high-efficiency shower head can help save a massive amount of water in your home. They can save up to 2,900 gallons annually, 13 days of energy, and $70 dollars per year.
❸ High-Efficiency Toilets
Speaking of flushing toilets, you can install a high-efficiency toilet to make a greater effort at green living. Plus it will help save money every year, too! Consider a dual-flush toilet, which gives users two options for flushing: low flush mode for liquid waste and a higher flush mode for solid waste. You can also install a low-flush toilet, which uses a mere 1.6 gallons per flush.
