If you have a chance to go to the bathroom in Japan, check out the flush button or handle. You will notice two Japanese characters written on it like the picture. "大(Dai)" means big, and "小(Sho)" means small. Well I guess you can imagine what each word is representing... this is one Japanese way of saving water for flushing. Depending on which way you turn the handle (or button), the amount of water for flushing differs. It might not be a big saving, but whatever small a change makes a change!
