Are you guilty of running the water while you brush your teeth? In the time it takes for you to *properly* brush (two minutes, according to my dentist), 8 gallons of water can go right down the drain! Turn off that tap!
A few more ways that you can cap the tap:
- Plug the drain before filling the bathtub. The temperature can be adjusted as the tub fills.
- Multi-task in the shower. Wash your body or your face while your hair conditioner soaks in. Cutting your showers short by 1 or 2 minutes can save 120 gallons/month. Aim for showers of five minutes or less (I know, I know...working on that...)
- Speaking of which, showering "with a friend" doesn't save water. Quit fooling yourself and rent a room! Baths are a different story, though. The more people you can fit in a bathtub, the better. ;-)
