Here's how you can help the environment, and save money too, by conserving water in your home.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Analyze how you are using the water in your home. Are there any leaks that need to be fixed? Are there any obvious water wasting problems you notice right away, like people showering too long, or a faulty toilet that keeps running all the time? Start by fixing or changing the obvious culprits.

  2. Step 2

    Look around for the less obvious water wasters. Wash your clothing on a setting that uses less water, and make sure the load is full. Brush your teeth without running the faucet the whole time. there are a thousand little ways you can save water by just being conscientious.

  3. Step 3

    Install water conserving appliances and devices in your home. Washers, dishwashers, toilets, and faucets can all be replaces with alternatives that conserve more water. These are just a few ways to start thinking about conserving water and saving money on your water bill.
