2. Did you know that 40% of indoor water is used flushing the toilet. This perfect Flush saves water in your home by installing to your existing toilet saves up to 100 gallons per year. It allows you the full or half flush option. That's interesting! This company is having a hard time marketing this product because we're talking about number ones and number twos. If you number two you hit the full flush button, number one half flush. Can you think of a catchy commercial for this product?

3. Smart Strip Power Strip Around $30 is green because it automatically turns off electronics that you aren't using! So sweet! This is great for monitors, printers, surround sound etc. This product does have its shortcomings however. Who wants their computer to randomly shut off because they accidentally plugged it into the wrong outlet and now their project is no longer saved. I am interested in this piece of machinery for sure and it will evolve into more convenience as time goes on.

The Honeywell Touchscreen 7 Day Programmable Thermostat offers me the ability to change the temperature of my home on a curve. This is a green product because you can save a great deal of money, which is energy, this way.
