1. Keep a Bucket in Your Shower
As the shower warms up, catch the water in a bucket and use it to water household plants or your
outside garden. This bucket from Lowe’s is perfect for the job. $15.46
2. Wash Dishes by Hand
Fill one sink with water for washing, and the other with water to rinse.
Don’t keep the water running, turn it off.

3. Rinse Your Fresh Produce in a Large Bowl or Pot
