KIDS
#1   There are a number of ways to save water, and they all start with you.
#2   When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run. Fill one basin with wash water and the other with      rinse water.
#5   Designate one glass for your drinking water each day, or refill a water bottle. This will cut down on        the number of glasses to wash. #8 Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pan of water instead of running      water from the tap.
#11  Keep a pitcher of drinking water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap. This way, every drop        goes down you and not the drain. #15 If you accidentally drop ice cubes, don't throw them in the sink.        Drop them in a house plant instead.
#18  When doing laundry, match the water level to the size of the load.
#19  Washing dark clothes in cold water saves water and energy, and helps your clothes retain their color.
#24  Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you'll save up to 150 gallons per month.
#25  Time your shower to keep it under 5 minutes. You'll save up to 1,000 gallons per month.

#36  Turn off the water while washing your hair and save up to 150 gallons a month.
#37  When washing your hands, turn the water off while you lather.
