Over a third of a typical families water consumption is taken by the toilet. So if every family cut could that in half then that would make a major difference to your bills and the environment

So naturally when doing a “number two”, then you probably want to flush that away. I won’t try and convince you any different. But how about “number ones”? If you live on your own then I guess you don’t really need to flush them away every time. At night time, you may find that leaving number ones in the toilet is OK and flushing the toilet may wake up your family or housemates. If you live on your own you may find an acceptable routine of toilet flushing at all times that saves water but maintains your personal hygiene.
