Eco-Chic Bathrooms: Going Green in Style!

From our toilets to our tubs, roughly 60% of a home's water consumption takes place in the bathroom, according to the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC). Learn how to incorporate these new, efficient and green products into your bathroom design -- whether you're looking for a simple facelift, or a complete remodel.

    -- Toilets
       Most of the water wasted in American homes comes from toilets.
       Thankfully, a new program has been introduced which makes finding an
       efficient product easier than ever.  A toilet with the WaterSense(R)
       label from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certifies that the
       product is not only water-efficient, but is also high-performing.
    -- Faucets
       The new Fina(TM) bathroom faucet collection from ShowHouse(R) by
       Moen(R) features soft modern style cues and is WaterSense labeled.
       Highlights of the Fina bathroom faucet collection include its high-arc
       spout, lever handles and contemporary-shaped base.  And while the
       faucet itself is remarkably designed, the story inside the faucet is
       equally as important.  Both the widespread and wall-mount lavatory
       faucets incorporate a flow-optimized aerator, allowing the faucet to
       flow at a rate of 1.5 gpm, versus traditional aerators which flow at
       2.2 gpm.
    -- Showerheads
       Last year, Moen launched its first Flow-Optimized, Water-Saving
       showerhead, which reduces the flow of water to 1.75 gpm (vs. the
       industry standard of 2.5 gpm) -- resulting in up to a 30% water
       savings. Not only is this savings significant in reducing water
       consumption, but using less also helps reduce the amount of energy
       required to supply and treat public water supplies.  And because Moen's
       Water-Saving showerhead's innovative spray formers concentrate the flow
       of water, homeowners can still experience a high-performance shower
       while reducing the amount of water used compared to standard
       showerheads.
