Take Showers Rather Than Baths
Taking showers in lieu of taking baths is a great way to reduce your water footprint. Because you don’t have to fill a tub, you naturally use less water than if you were to draw a bath.
You can find faucets and showerheads that use less water per minute of use at any hardware store like Lowe’s or Home Depot. These are cheap and excellent ways to reduce your water footprint.
Graywater systems provide an excellent way to reuse your water and reduce your water footprint. Simply discarding “dirty” yet unpotable water can be a waste, since it is still usable for a myriad of household purposes.
Rain barrels are a really easy way to make use of free water: the rain! Even though water collected with rain barrels is non-potable, it is still usable on any household gardens and plants, reducing the amount of water you use out of the tap.
