One thing, though: It shouldn't take 5-7 gallons of fresh water to flush! If your toilet uses that much water you can and should replace it. Low-consumption toilets use 1.6 gallons of water per flush. If you're serious about conservation, this is a must. In the US, toilets that use more than 1.6 gallons CANNOT BE SOLD. If you're toilet uses more water than that, chances are it's more than 20 years old and ought to be replaced. Great post, though! These are some good ideas.
