Good morning, SuperForest!
I must apologize, I just missed “World Toilet Day” this year by a couple days. It’s scheduled for November 19th but I figured the date isn’t really all that important, the message is what we’re going after. So happy world toilet day! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Water availability is a topic that’s really close to the heart here at SuperForest, and there are some very exciting developments in the works for what could be our greatest project yet (the concept for the most part is down, I’m still in the planning and networking stages, but I’m working hard on this baby and I’m not giving up on it). Details will come later (!!!) but for now, I realize that any legitimate sort of change is going to have to start with us and the environment that surrounds us every day. And the toilet is definitely part of our environment, so that’s an easy way to start.
This year, us SuperForesters (the ones that haven’t done this yet) are going to celebrate world toilet day by hacking our toilets. Here’s SuperForester Jackson’s left arm showing us how this goes down:
Aaaand in comes the second arm!
This is the abridged version, the detailed directions (with words) can be found in this previous post. But it really is as easy as placing a brick in your toilet tank. As said by SFJ:
The brick will displace volume that would have otherwise been occupied by clean water, so your toilet will use less each time it refills.
Here’s the staggering thing:
Doing this simple thing will save you approximately 11,000 gallons of water a year.
And SuperForester Spoon beautifully demonstrated it, of course, doesn’t have to be a brick, you can get creative.
Yay! Hope you join in on the festivities! I have yet to hack my toilet (can you believe that?!), but I look forward to doing this tonight. We can compare notes. : )
With love,
SuperForester Carla
