Why I Don't Flush the Toilet Every Time Anymore (And You Should Think About It)

Pay attention to the rules of etiquette!

If you're at a friend's house or in a public place, be discreet and respectful. Not all families have the same approach to this type of practice. Pay attention to your guests' habits.

Not flushing the toilet every time you urinate is a small personal effort with significant ecological benefits. At the household level, the water savings can be significant. On a city scale, this means millions of liters are saved every day.

In the context of global warming, where some French regions are already suffering from seasonal water restrictions, every liter counts. It's a bit like sorting waste: it seems restrictive at first... Then it becomes second nature.

In short, why should you think about it?

  • Each flush = 3 to 9 liters of drinking water unnecessarily used
  • Urine is sterile, so there is no immediate risk if the toilet is clean.
  • Easy, effortless and cost-effective water saving
  • Alternatives: dual flush, dry toilets, essential oils against odors

Changing a small habit can have a big impact. What if you started thinking differently today... even in the bathroom?
