Many parts of our country have problems with both the quantity and quality of water. There are ways you can help conserve this precious resource, and the energy it takes to transport and filter it. Start by using native plant species in your landscaping that do not require a great deal of watering to maintain. Don’t let the water run while you brush your teeth or shave. You can purchase a shutoff valve to attach to the showerhead, which allows you to briefly stop the water while you lather up your body or work in the shampoo. Make sure you have a full load when you run the dishwasher and laundry machine. Keep a jug of water in the refrigerator so you don’t need to run the tap until it is cold. Finally, look for low-flow appliances that use less water by design.
