Everyone should try to save water but if one rents they cant just install a low flow toilet or a double sink. There are easy things we can do to reduce the water being used in our apartments. We have heard all about only washing full loads of clothes and dishes. If you do all your dishes by hand without a double sink keep a medium sized bowel in the sink to fill with soapy water, instead of running the water to wash and rinse. When washing fruits and veggies collect the water for your house plants. Make any toilet low flow by adding water bottles with some sand or pebbles fill the rest with water and put the cap on. This can save water in one step. The easy thing is not to let the water run. Did you know that 25 gallons can be saved by turning the faucet off while brushing you teeth. Only one or two minutes in the shower can save 150 gallons per month, and there is a tool you can use to make this easy too. A shower timer is the best thing to shave off those extra minutes. They are found online, sometimes you can find one for free. This is just the start on how you can "Reduce Your Use."
