5 Things You Can Do Now
46
Fix those leaks.
You'll likely save hundreds of gallons of water a year and save on your utility bill as well.
47
Use reusable water bottles.
Save money and the environment by filling a reusable bottle instead of buying plastic ones.
48
Use less water on your lawn or garden.
More plants die from overwatering than underwatering. If you live in a desert environment, try native plants instead of water-guzzling grass.
49
Don't let the water run while you wash your dishes.
Instead, fill the sink up with water and rinse all at once.
50
Eat less red meat.
Sorry, meat-lovers, but it takes 1,800 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef, more than three times that of chicken or pork, and exponentially more than vegetables. (Source: National Geographic)
