    Like this and I featured it on 1 of my 4 green pages. You can see my page and yours featured there at www.squidoo.com/environmentally-green which has had a major overhaul - again.

    The most recent article on my page is on plastic bottles getting a new use to make Eco Chic Bags for shopping, lunches, and cooled insulated bags. It is one of the many articles on the page for "Green Solutions for the Environment"

    Ok, I really think I would like a Bidet! I wonder why they aren't more popular in the USA? Perhaps because of the TP tycoons?! Nicely done and very convincing...I'm still not a huge green fan though...some folks are making too much money on it.

    Thanks for the very informative lens. I already do a lot of the things you suggest, but there are some I am not ready for yet.

    I still need to get used to the idea of a waterless toilet, but I will definitely consider using water saving shower heads.

    Quick update: New waterless urinals were just installed in my office building. :)

    Lots of great tips for making bathrooms more earth friendly. I've got low-water use toilets, but I'm sure can find ways to do more.

    The toilet hand hand dryers on most AMC restrooms are recycled. Same goes for my office.

    Great lens. And i know this lens if for home ideas but just a thought: If we can get the government/our local representatives to work more towards passing legislation that protect the environment, that would be great too.

    Most people (general public) do these measures out of goodwill and concern. Business may perform eco-friendly acts out of goodwill and maybe marketing. But as a matter of long-term public health and a global issue, governments need to work within their territories and amongst each other.

    We use used water from laundry to flush the toilet, I can't remember it ran out

    I have a hippo in my tank!! It's a hippo shaped plastic bag full of water so that water is saved when the cistern fills.

    I fully agree with the hanky idea, it irks me when I see people using 3 large sheets of paper to wipe their hands in the public toilet, it's such a waste of resources

    Newer water saving toilets really do help. We love ours!

    We are also considering a bidet attachment for our toilet. We haven't committed but we are looking at them :)

    While reading this, I caught myself thinking: "Hey, I am already following some of these tips!!"
    I've got a dual flush system toilet pot at home and I also never let the water run while not using it. Too bad I just can't let go of toilet paper. But there is a tip from me, the experienced toilet paper user: use the paper made from recycled materials. Perhaps it won't be as white and good looking as ordinary paper, but you will now that you're not wiping your bum with these poor trees.
    Anyway, thanks for a useful and educating lens, you should spread this to the masses, so even more people could start adopting eco-friendly habits!

    Thanks for mentioning recycled toilet paper! I just made a new module about it, with credit to you :)

    Many good tips!! I have a bidet in the apartment where I live, but currently I use it as a flower pot.....I am Canadian, living in France, and to tell the truth it is not in our habit to use this. It's an old one, so I am not sure it will be as effective as the new models. I might give a try. Otherwise, I try to use minimal water for brushing teeth and washing hands.

    I love the dual flush idea. I hadn't seen that before.
