B-theChange (pilot) Toilet Hacking

How to conserve hundreds of gallons of water a year with a simple 10 minute hack.

This is the pilot video I did for a project called Act Local (Now www.B-thechange.org).

I believe in a grassroots approach to protecting the global commons. I started B-theChange to educate people and spur them to action. B-theChange has been a pet project of mine for years. I don't have nearly as much time for it as I'd like but the project is important to me and I continue to work on it.

@inuyasha4409 ur gay

[inuyasha4409]

sink idea was good though

[inuyasha4409]

gay, just adjust the screw on the float valve, takes 5-10 seconds, and a screwdriver, no bottles needed. also if your flapper chain that connects the flapper to the handle has a float, adjust that too

I'll Post My Watersaving toilet without using waterbottles or "hacking" my water saving thing has to do with a failure to adjust something in my toilet! So it holds less in bowl and tank. and has an anti-leak mechinism.

hey Ben, LOVED the video, and I can't see myself doing that until we move, I'll make sure that at least the water bottle trick is done.

Good luck with the program and I hope you get sponsored. It was really well done and edited, and I would definitely watch more of these vids!
