Turn off the faucet
when you’re brushing your teeth
Use
leftover water
from cooking or bath time to
water plants around the house
Don’t use the toilet as a
wastebasket
to flush down unwanted things
Tell someone if you see a
leaking faucet
around the house
When you help with errands
around the house, such as the dishes,
make sure it’s
a full load
before you run the dishwasher
Help pick up
trash and debris
from the ground.
The less trash that makes its way into our
streams and lakes gives us cleaner water.
