How do YOU save water? EPA's Pick5 blog has some ideas...
http://blog.epa.gov/blog/2009/09/11/how-do-you-use-less-water/
Here are some things I do...
Don't buy bottled water: one of my company's offices saved over $1000 and 6000 gallons by switching to filtered water, not to mention reduced greenhouse gas emissions from not trucking all those heavy bottles around.
Don't run water while shaving, scrubbing, brushing teeth, washing dishes, etc. Also shower less often (think like a European!).
Recycle water from rinsing or cooking produce to water your plants: added nutrients!
Use a rain barrel for watering the garden. I also use a soaker hose buried at root level with a layer of mulch. Watering in the morning reduces evaporation.
What could you do to conserve water in your life?
