With this tip you not only save money, but will also help the environment at the same time. You can save money by using less water.

If you’re in the US, there is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense program, which allows you to find high-quality, faucets, water-efficient toilets, shower heads and much more. The Watersense program has been introduced in the US in 2006, and this program helps people buy more water-efficient appliances and fixtures. Imagine that products that have the Watersense certification save up to 20% your water, and they perform sometimes even better than your current, traditional appliances.

WaterSense contractor Kathleen Brady says that” a family of four typically spends more than $800 on water and sewer services every year. But switching to WaterSense-certified appliances can make a noticeable difference on that bill.” Basically going from a toilet manufactured before 1994 to a WaterSense toilet will save a family of four around $90 every year.

And the environmental benefits that come along with it are also very important to keep in mind. I think this quote from their website says it all the best:

“If one out of every 100 American homes retrofitted with water-efficient fixtures, we could save about 100 million kWh of electricity per year — avoiding 80,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.”
