Top 10 Tips to save more water and energy
In your bathroom :
- Install a water-saver toilet that uses only 1.6 gallons of water per flush.
- Don't run water in the sink while shaving, brushing your teeth or lathering your face and hands.
- Take shallow baths, shorter showers and consider bathing small children together.
- Avoid using the toilet as a wastebasket.
In your kitchen :
- Clean vegetables or rinse dishes in a pan of water, not under a running faucet.
- Use the short-cycle option and air-dry setting on your dishwasher.
- Run only full loads in your dishwasher.
- Keep a bottle of drinking water in the refrigerator to avoid running the tap to get a glass of water.
With your laundry :
- Wash only with full loads and use water-level adjustment settings.
- Use cold water detergents for a more effective cold water wash.
