Lo-Flush toilets(flush once a day)

Sure, you can spend a bundle to save water, or you can do what this old hippie from the Sixties does.  I have a gallon plastic bottle with a wide opening in it.  I pee in it all day long and the next morning when I poop, I pour it all in there and then, there you have it.  I flush the toilet once a day.  This is a simple approach.
When I take showers, I put a small bucket up and catch all the cold water that most people just let go down the drain.  I put this bucket, each day, into my washing machine and when it is time, I wash the clothes with water that would have been wasted.
I also put in the wash water the rinse water from washing dishes, not to mention the water that was used to boil a 3 minute egg.
Simplicity, people; the answers are there already.
When I wash clothes, that water goes on the front lawn.  With a turn of the handle, the rinse water from the wash goes into five-5 gallon buckets that then are used to wash the next load?  Any questions?
Peace,
