Before You Flush That Toilet ..

"If its yellow, let it mellow. If its brown, flush it down."


Now of course don't do this if you are at a friends home or using a public restroom. But at home, why not? Personally, I do it in the comfort of my own home. Why? Water conservation. Brazil is experiencing their worst drought in 80 years while California is experiencing their worst drought in 1,200 years!

The toilet consumes the greatest amount of water (30%) of any device in the average home. The average person in the United States uses anywhere from 80-100 gallons of water per day. Flushing the toilet actually takes up the largest amount of this water.

And this is why we have amazing green companies such as Why Flush? With Why Flush, you save 1,200 gallons of clean water with every 16 oz bottle. If you just cannot stand the sight of urine in your toilet bowl, just spray a bottle of Why Flush into your toilet and it is supposed to "capture and neutralize the odor of urine, replacing it with a pleasant smell of citrus. Why Flush counteracts the staining chemicals in urine to help keep your toilet bowl clean. Finally, it leaves the water in the bowl an appealing blue-green color."

"If 1% (1M) of US Households used Why Flush, we so would save roughly 7.2 billion gallons of water annually."


I just purchased my first bottle and will be using it soon! Stand by for product review

  • 68.7% of the fresh water on Earth is trapped in glaciers.
