Water Conservation Tips
It’s become too easy to waste water. We use more of it outside than inside, yet half the water we use outside winds up washed away. Useless.
Not that things are much better inside. Letting the faucet run when we brush our teeth or shave. Dropping only half a load of clothes in the washing machine or turning on a half-empty dishwasher. Simple changes can put money in your pocket. Don’t waste. Just use less.
