A gesture as ordinary as it is automatic, one we almost never question: flushing the toilet. Yet, simple urination doesn’t necessarily demand this reflex. What if this small daily action was giving, without our knowledge, to significant water waste? It’s a surprising question, but one worth asking. What you’re about to discover might just make you rethink your routine…
This daily waste often goes ignored. However, with around ten trips to the toilet per day for an average family, this wastes up to 100 liters of water per day , or more than 36,000 liters per year. In comparison, some countries in the world do not always have access to drinking water on a daily rountine.
The “if it’s yellow, wait” trick : a simple but effective habit
In many eco-friendly homes , a simple rule has become applied:
“If it’s yellow, we wait; if it’s brown, we make it go away.”

In other words, you only flush when you really need to – not every time you pee. Urine is naturally sterile and represents no immediate health risk, provided the toilet is cleaned regularly
Less hunting, more hygiene
Not flushing doesn’t mean living in a dirty toilet. The crucial thing is to keep regular hygiene, cleaning the bowl and flushing it every two to three days, or even daily if applied frequently.
Extra tip: Add a few drops of essential oils ( lemon, eucalyptus, lavender) to a diffuser or a small container placed near the toilet to naturally neutralize odors.
