The Toilet

• Low-flow or dual-flush toilets minimize water use and are therefore more eco-friendly. These toilets can reduce water use by 20 percent or more.
  
  

Faucets

• Automatic faucets are common in commercial bathrooms, but more people are adding them to their own homes. Automatic faucets turn off by themselves, preventing excess and unnecessary water loss.
  
  

Flooring

• Using sustainable flooring for your bathroom is a significant way to improve its eco-friendliness. Look for recycled glass tiles, reclaimed wood planks or bamboo.
  
  

Walls

• Recycled glass tiles can be used in the shower or on the walls of an eco-friendly bathroom. Low VOC paints are also an easy way to go green.
  
  

Cabinets

• Bathroom cabinets are most eco-friendly when they're made out of sustainable hardwood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
