OMG, how easy it is to save water!!! I bought two, 1.25 gallon coolers from Walmart. They have an “on” and “off” spout. I put one at my kitchen sink and one in the master bath. I fill a large pitcher with shower water until it gets hot….just before I shower. I set the filled pitcher aside till i am done. Then, I pour the water into the cooler. Walla, I don’t have to turn on my bathroom sink for the whole day. My kids follow suit too!

I would add, 1) Get a low flow shower head that feels good, or you’ll be inclined to toss it 2) Get a low flow shower head that does not use small holes to achieve the flow limit (they clog) and 3) Don’t get one that uses aeration (cools the water so you use more heat).

Great article!

Put bricks in your toilets. You will often find that the toilet will still flush without a problem, but, when the tank refills, it will fill with less water due to the volume of the brick. Just add successive bricks until the flush quality becomes poor. You can also break a brick in half to optimize.

I don’t have a rainbarrel, but I collect rainwater in plastic buckets and fill up used gallon milk jugs. The plants love natural rainwater.

I use the water from my dehumidifier for watering plants also.

I shower and wash my hair every other day, except in the hot summer. I also save on my bill by showering at the gym whenever I can do so. (The monthly fee is fixed, so why not.)

I re-use glasses for water and clear liquids, and often re-use my coffee mugs also with only a quick rinse.
