Water, Water Everywhere but not a drop to drink.
The average person uses 123 gallons daily. That's about 16.4 cubic feet of space for anyone who wants to think about it. Anyone know how much money it takes to clean water? Oh, it can be done naturally, just not very fast. So it's a lot, what can we do about it?
When you brush your teeth, don't leave the water running.
Follow the "when it's yellow" lifestyle. When it's yellow, let it mellow, When it's brown, flush it down.
(Note to inventors, this would be so much easier and save everyone a whole lot of money if it worked differently for the two bodily functions.)
Use the dishwasher. I'll expand on that.
Surprisingly enough it takes much more water to hand wash something than to use the machine. So rinse your plate and put it in there. Make use of it and don't wait so that your foot petrifies to the dish. That'll take much more water to get it off.
Put a half gallon container in your toilet tank. It'll conserve water and still work normally. Also, don't let leaks go untreated.
Shower differently. Rinse. Turn water off. Soap up (hair too!). Water on. Rinse. Water off. Want to be really proactive? Use the bucket method. Scrub brush, bucket of water. It'll get you cleaner too because you have to focus on what you're cleaning.
Defrosting meat? Refrigerator man! The list goes on.
Clean fresh water isn't infinite though... we need to act.
