water conservation is important, duh. below are some tips to conserve (i do these!):
use a spray bottle - if you wash your face without a wash cloth (ie, you splash water on your face), to initially wet your face, use a spray bottle to spritz yourself rather than running the tap.
turn it off - when lathering up in the shower (or when washing your face, etc) turn off the tap. lots of shower heads have a stopper thing that stops the water flow without you actually turning it off.
wait a bit - soap and lather your hands first before turning on the tap. most liquid soaps will lather without water.
water at night - most plants need more than just a surface watering; soil needs to be saturated. if you water during the day a lot of the water will evaporate before your lawn gets to use it.
reuse water - when washing fruits and veggies, place a pot or whatever underneath to catch the "dirty" water and then use it to water your garden or household plants.
fill it up - run the dishwasher or washing machine only when full. (duh!)
if you've got any tips yourself, please comment!
