I think we’re pretty good about water consumption in my house. The tap is never left running during tooth-brushing; we have a front-loading washer, which uses far less water than a tub-style washer; our taps and shower head all have aerators; we replaced our toilet with a low-flush version; we don’t water the lawn or power-wash our house or driveway.
But there’s always room for improvement. I have a bad habit of rinsing dishes before they go in the dishwasher and I let the water run while I wash pots and pans. I’m trying hard to break the rinsing habit and tonight I’m going to plug the sink instead of letting the water run.
By the way, I’m using small baby cloths as hankies now and it’s going great. My bathroom trash can is empty and it’s really no trouble. It’s not even gross. The key is to change hankies liberally—they’re so small it doesn’t make a difference to the laundry pile.
