The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has created the WaterSense Label to help consumers identify water efficient products including toilets, bathroom sink faucets and accessories, and showerheads. Reducing water use from an existing sink or showerhead is as easy as installing an aerator. Many of these products can be found at local home improvement stores like Home Depot and from green building supply stores like the Natural Built Home and Moss Envy.|
