    I don't seem to remember to do this unless I get a reminder email.  I am, however, keeping up with my commitments.  I am only flushing the toilet after pooping and occasionally when I cant' stand the smell.  The pee does get quite smelly.  Five minute showers are easy.

    Five-minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?

    I have already placed a bucket in the shower to catch water.  A gray water system in the tub would be great.  We are thinking about it.

    We recently started a compost pile.  I read that urine helps compost develop.  We have ordered a portable toilet (which we need for a camper anyway) and will start saving our pee in it.  That way we will flush less and help our compost.

    Yesterday my partner and I decided to throw toilet paper in the trash and flush only when necessary.  A bit smelly, but doable.
