Going green in the bathroom is relatively easy and actually affordable. These bathroom tips will save you money, save energy, save water, and you probably will not even notice a difference.

#1: The first thing you can do to go green in your bathroom is to turn the water off while you are brushing your teeth! Now, no one can argue with this free go green lifestyle tip. There is no need to leave the water running while you scrub away! You will save money on your water bill and not waste water!

#2: Continuing with the water theme try checking out you local home improvement store for a low flow shower head. This affordable go green bathroom idea will cost you less than $45 and save thousands of gallons of water and again lower your water bill. You save money twice because you pay for less water and you also pay for less energy to heat the water.

#3: Test out toilet paper made from recycled content. Save over 400,000 trees, if each US household replaced just one typical roll of 500 sheets.

#4: Another way to affordably go green in you bathroom is to clean with eco friendly cleaners. These are cleaners that do not release toxin into the air, your lings, and your children's lungs. You can find eco friendly cleaner at you local grocery store or make your own with vinegar.

#5: Buy bath towels and robes made form organic cotton.

The Bonus: For this one the cost starts to increase. Replace your existing toilet with a low flow toilet. They just use less water to flush the toilet. If replacing you toilet is not in your budget, then please make sure you do not have a toilet that is continually running. This can waste gallons of water per day and raise you water bill drastically! Your low flow toilet will pay for itself over it's lifetime, so this is really a great investment, specially if you are already remodeling your bathroom anyway!
