I found some creative ways to conserve water this week. I soaked the dirty dinner pots in soapy water to loosen the food from them so I needed less water to clean them with. Instead of throwing out water left in water glasses or water bottles, I used it to water the plants with. I also filled up milk cartons with water for the bird feeder and to water the hanging baskets outside. I washed only full loads in the dishwasher and washing machine to maximize the use of water. As I continue to conserve water in small ways in the future, I will make conserving water a habit.
