Reducing energy and water use in Japan

This is a photo I took of a toilet in Japan.  If you look closely you'll see a faucet on the top of the tank in the back.  People use this to wash their hands.  The water is first used for hand washing and then flows into the toilet tank to be used for flushing.  How clever!  This is a great way to  REDUCE the amount of water being used every day.


My friend Janine is traveling in Japan.  Would you like to know how they reduce the amount of energy they use in Hiroshima, Japan?  Visit her website  http://janineinjapan.blogspot.com/

Look for the blog entitled "Energy Conservation in Japan."

Don't forget to write to me and tell me how you are reducing, reusing or recycling so I can post your story here too!
