Wipe your behinds with leaves, do not use the whole tree!
Worldwide, the equivalent of almost 270,000 trees is either flushed or  dumped in landfills every day and roughly 10 percent of that total is  attributable to toilet paper.
Do not pee in the toilet!
A Brazilian environmental group is trying to get the country’s  residents to urinate in the shower. The group says that if a single household flushed the toilet just one  fewer times a day, it would save a whopping 1,157 gallons of water each  year.
Prefer showers over baths!
  Showers use less water.  Don't forget to install an efficient showerhead.
Use soaps and detergents that contain no  phosphates!
Use a mixture of water and vinegar to wash your windows. Wash clothes in cold water to avoid consuming energy to heat the water. On sunny days, use a  clothes line instead of a clothes dryer. Your clothes will smell fresher  and the sun's rays ensure that germs are successfully sizzled.
Install low-flush toilets in your home!
These use 1.6  gallons per flush, instead of 3.5 gallons, cutting water consumption by  more than half.
For the ladies out there, consider using cloth (as in,  reusable) tampons and pads, or using a menstrual cup!
It may seem  gross, but it can't be grosser than the thought of the amount of pads  and tampons women use yearly piled up in a landfill, now can't it?
 Use rainwater to wash your face, teeth and hands!
Wash clothes                    with warm or cold water instead of hot!
Wash and                    dry only full loads of laundry!
