Adopt a water conservation tip

http://wateruseitwisely.com/index.php is a good resource for reducing water use, which everyone would benefit from doing. The site's cornerstone is a slightly overwhelming list of 100+ tips, some of which are reproduced below: 

- For cold drinks keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap. This way, every drop goes down you and not the drain.
- Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pan of water instead of running water from the tap.
- Collect the water you use for rinsing fruits and vegetables, then reuse it to water houseplants.
- Designate one glass for your drinking water each day or refill a water bottle. This will cut down on the number of glasses to wash.
- Bathe your young children together.
- Make suggestions to your employer about ways to save water and money at work.
- Water only when necessary. More plants die from over-watering than from under-watering.
- One more way to get eight glasses of water a day is to re-use the water left over from cooked or steamed foods to start a scrumptious and nutritious soup.


If you're a would-be overachiever you could combine these so that you simultaneously bathe your young children, water your houseplants and rinse your fruit, but that seems to be taking things a bit far.


Effort involved: these sorts of lifestyle tips tend to be easy to implement, but also easy to forget.
