Sustainability Tips: Water

Water

Turn it off: Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, shaving, or lathering your hands. This saves about 4 gallons of water per minute! Also turn off the water when you lather during a shower for even greater water savings.

Take shorter showers: Always opt for a shower over a bath. Use a waterproof shower timer and challenge yourself to shower as quickly as you can.

Wash full loads: Washing larger loads of laundry and dishes saves water (and electricity) by reducing the number of loads.

Reuse: Capture water from showers or from rinsing produce, then use it to water house plants!
