bathrooms

I don't know your heard about this or you experienced it yourself. The best ideas come when we are in the bathroom and while we are taking shower. Yes, Aha effect! This  guy talks about that here. He is mentioning why we are experiencing so called “creative pause”. You can reach to this state in different situation, jogging is a good example. Sorry if I messed up with your imagination talking all about bathrooms, you can find beautiful pictures for them all around the world here. Anyways, today I was thinking again how we can reduce wasting treated water in the bathrooms! Bill Gates is spending good amount of money for redesigning toilets. And if you are more interested, you can participate in their Reinvent Toilet Challenge. 

When you want to establish a new lifestyle, you may need to think about may things. Paradigm shift is one of the important things in this procedure. Slow by slow people know and understand the effect of their behaviors. I appreciate Bill Gate for his perspective in this matter.

Here are some ideas for reducing teated water consumption in toilets:

1) Using used water from sink or shower

This guy made a project out of it. 

2) Saving water in shower before it warms up. Have a bucket in your bathroom and fill it while you are waiting to the water gets hot. 

3) Installing multi flush toilet.

4) Install the tank in higher elevation. 

5) Installing Urine Diverting (UD) toilet.

What about showers? How can we save water there? Milk bath?!   :) 

Closed loop showers seems promising! 


Please let me know if you have other ideas that you want to be added to this list.
