One of the many global issues that we face is that our water supplies are no longer keeping up with us. This article covers the why, the how and the just how serious is it.
Now if you think about the fact that every time you go pee pee you waste an average of 9 litres of fresh, drinkable water you have to ask yourself.... "have we gone f$*ing bananas?"
One ridiculously simple adjustment will cost you absolutely nothing and lower your impact immediately:
Fill a two litre Coke bottle with water and stick it into your cistern - your toilet will flush less 2L. Add a couple more if you can get away with it. Experiment - go on, it's fun. That way you'll only waste 3 - 7 litres with each flush instead of 7-9.
Plus you get to give yourself an extra pat on the back for keeping one plastic bottle out of the Gyres. Just think... if we all do it that could add up to thousands and thousands of bottles safely tucked away in our cisterns instead of in the ocean.
As a responsible urban activist, you should take a couple of bottles to work and fix their toilets too. It's the right thing to do.
