Home Water Efficiency Options
How To Green Your Home Water Systems
Everyone and their dog has heard of Energy Star - it's truly the darling of the eco-energy world. However, Energy Star, while good, is not the only energy and water saving option available when it comes to home appliances and even whole water systems. Don't forget that even more important than the appliances you purchase, and the systems you set-up, is the difference you can make based on basic water conservation principals.
If you're researching water saving options for your green home, visit the following resources:
WaterSense is a partnership program created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Research at the WaterSense site is a really simple way to locate all sorts of water saving and energy saving options. The WaterSense label is now being applied in stores to specific items, so if you don't happen to carry your laptop shopping, you can still make smart choices.
Jerry Peek's Off-the-Wall (but simple) Water-Saving Ideas: this little guide just might have some ideas you haven't heard before (rare).

But good theory on the water wasting that comes with a disposal.
Water Saving Plumbing Products Faucets and Fittings: Covers many products and even though it's a storefront, is not too salesman like at all. They offer good information.
Water-Saving Plumbing Fixtures - a nice video from This Old House.
And in my totally bizarre link o' the day - Hack a Toilet for free water. Um, it's a little odd, maybe not for everyone, possibly not for me, but still, it's something interesting to consider.
