Conserving water at home is one of the easiest ways to protect the environment. Think of all the times you consume water, both inside and outside your home; then, make adjustments as you can. For example:

• Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth.
• Fix leaky faucets.
• Make your water use more efficient by aerating faucets, using sprinklers that reduce runoff and installing low-flow toilets and efficient shower heads.
• Collect and use rainwater for watering plants.
• Shorten your shower by a few minutes—or skip it altogether if you don’t really need one that day.
• Only run your dishwasher or washing machine when it’s full

These are just the basics—you can get really creative when it comes to conserving water.
