Lil' Green Steps: Agua

Green Challenge: Water Conservation!

Ways to cut back on household water use that are simple and take very little effort.


1. Put a rock or bottle in the back of your toilet. Preferably a plastic bottle, as a glass one might break- and you will wish you never heard this tip!

2. Limit your shower time to 5 minutes.
            Or be crazy and turn the water off while you are soap up. Use it only to get wet and rinse off!

3. Don't let the water run while you are brushing your teeth.

4. Don't let the water run while you are washing dishes. Then, fill up the sink with water to quickly rinse dishes once they are washed.

5. Fill up the dishwasher to its optimal level when doing a load.

6. Run the sprinklers early in the morning or later at night when the temperatures are cooler to ensure all that water is not evaporating.

What are you doing to save water?
