Grey Water Waste System For Your Home

Part of a Holistic Lifestyle is a Simple Lifestyle - one that helps us bring the Kingdom of God into our homes and community. Part of this is to care for our enviroment!

So I have come across the following sad statistic:

"The average U.S. citizen uses 142 liters of drinking quality water each day. Of this amount 50% is flushed down the toilet."

The following is something we can do about this:

Adapt your sink to collect water under the sink in a bucket

Use your discarded sink water to flush your toilet

It really is that easy! As you are doing the above please remember that you are saving lives!

Be sure to visit the link above to get more information on this system.

Also if for some reason the above is to much to keep up with please visit www.envirolet.com and check out there information on Composting Toilets!

Consider going to your Local Health Food Store and purchasing the following:
