OK, maybe not a dust bowl again but we are heading that way. So many people take water for granted. Every product in this world has a water footprint. This water footprint is the amount of water it takes to grow, raise or make something for the final user. The water footprint of a glass of milk is 260 gallons, that is it take 260 gallons of water to get one gallon of milk out of a cow. You don't want to know how many gallons it takes for a pound of beef. Take it from this farm boy you will not guess it right as it is way more than you would think. 4000 plus gallons...
For these reasons I am dumbstruck why we flush so much water down the toilet. I set out for a search on water saving toilets, read about HET toilets, low flow, dual flush and more. I spent days on the net making sense of it all. In conclusion I found if you want to save water you have to spend money until I ran into a Dual Flush Toilet Conversion Kit. This is a system that will transform your toilet from a standard old toilet into a full blown Dual Flush Toilet for under $30.00.
I since have installed 20 SelectAFlush units in all the neighboring farms with no issues and I love the fact that we are all saving water without spending money if only the farm would run like that.

One of my BIGGEST pet peevs is to see a leaky faucet... more people need to be aware of the amount of water we waste and take for granted. I have a 5 year old son and I constantly wonder what kind of a future he will have to face... as a mother I want him to be safe, healthy, and happy. You can't have these things if you don't have the basics to survive. I worry. A . LOT .
