Leaving the faucet running while brushing your teeth can let around 4 to 8 gallons of water run down the sink every day. Remember to turn it off when brushing your teeth and while washing your hands. Buy a reusable water bottle and start bringing water with you, rather than buying single-use plastic water bottles. Using a low-flow showerhead instead of a normal one can save enough water in a year to fill a 15-foot aboveground pool. Try to buy products made from 100% recycled paper, as a lot less water is used when they’re being manufactured. Water the lawn in the morning or evening to prevent the water from evaporating before it gets to the grass and to save water. Eating just one vegetarian or vegan meal a week can save over 3,000 gallons of water
