...I will do it as my Dad has always done it. It's the oldest trick in the water-saving book, but it's tried and true and easy peasy. Just take a brick or some heavy object that won't rust, or take a milk jug or similar container and fill it with water so it doesn't float. Then place it in the tank. Whatever you put in (up until the water line) is how much water you'll displace, and therefore how much water you'll save every time you flush! Pictured here is about a quarter gallon, so if the average person flushes the toilet about 2,500 times a year, and my two roommates and I are home maybe about half the time, this teeny tiny little action (that until yesterday I had forgotten that I even did) saves about a thousand gallons of water a year.
