Easy Ways to Conserve Water
Turn off the water after you wet your toothbrush. There is no need to keep the water running while brushing your teeth. Just wet your brush and fill a glass for mouth rinsing.
 
When washing dishes by hand, don’t leave the water running while scrubbing the dishes.

Use your dishwasher and clothes washer for only full loads.

Install low flow faucet aerators and water saving shower heads which use less water than traditional versions.

Take 5 minute showers instead of a full bath.

Water your lawn and outdoor plants early in the morning or late in the evening after the sun has set to reduce water lost to evaporation.

Keep a bucket in the shower to collect the water as you’re waiting for it to heat up. You can use it to water your plants or garden.
Some Inspiring Words...

 “My goal is not to be better than anyone else,
but to be better than I used to be.”

“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done.
One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow.
Today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.”
