Follow the saying "if it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down!" We personally attest that this concept can prevent 50-75% of flushes.
Afraid to take such a bold risk? Follow these tips: 1) Communicate the importance to everyone in the household, so there is no confusion on why others aren't flushing. 2) Keep track of the number of flushes and no-flushes, as a reminder of how much water is being saved 3) Leave an air freshener in the bathroom, if odor is a concern. 4) Flush when company comes over, if you are concerned by what they might think (or explain it to them, maybe they'll agree it's a good idea).
