A couple revealed they spend a measly $10 a month on their water bill — and do so by reusing their shower water to cook — all while forgoing toilet paper.
Anna and Diogo Masiello try to lead a zero-waste lifestyle, leading them to take on some unusual habits.
The Italian couple, who got married during a zero-waste wedding in May, have taken it upon themselves to save water by reserving their shower water in a jar which they clean with a charcoal water filter and reuse to drink, cook and water their plants.
They also stopped using toilet paper in May in an effort to save water, opting instead for a portable bidet attached to a plastic bottle.
“It wasn’t hard to ditch loo roll — you’d be surprised how easy it is to go without it,” Anna told SWNS.
The couple claims that ditching toilet paper and re-using their shower water saves 14 liters, or about 3.7 gallons, of water a year.
An average person goes through about 100 rolls of toilet paper per year, Anna, an eco-influencer, explained.
