Washing machines and dishwashers
are often run on less-than-full
loads. The amount of water
used in a quarter load is
the same as a full load,
so maximize the water
usage by only running the
appliances when the load
is full. New high-efficiency
machines also use less water
than older washers.
When washing dishes by hand, fill one side of
the sink with hot, soapy water and the other side
with cool, clean water. Rather than letting the
water run while washing, rinse the dishes off in
the cool water. According to the EPA, this will
result in a reduction of water use by half.
Container gardens are becoming popular
additions to many homes and apartments.
Maximize water use by catching water in a bowl
or bucket when rinsing food in a colander or while
waiting for the hot water to kick in. The resulting
water can be used to water the container garden,
houseplants, or flower beds.
Reducing our home water use can be done
by using these simple changes. Not only will
the water bill go down, but the most precious
resource on Earth won't be, literally, going down
the drain. •
