1. Shorter Showers: Take shorter showers and limit them to 5-10 minutes.

  2. Use a Bucket: To minimize water use when washing cars or outdoor toys, use a bucket instead of a hose.

  3. Collect Rainwater: Use buckets to collect rainwater to water plants, and gardens, or wash hands outside.

  4. Water Plants Wisely: Water plants early in the morning or late in the evening to prevent evaporation.

  5. Fix Leaks: If you notice leaking faucets or toilets, let an adult know so they can fix them.

  6. Use a Broom Instead of a Hose: When cleaning driveways or sidewalks, use a broom instead of spraying water with a hose.

  7. Limit Watering Lawns: Encourage parents to only water lawns when necessary and to consider xeriscaping (using drought-resistant plants).

  8. Full Loads Only: Only run the dishwasher or washing machine with full loads to maximize water use.

  9. Educate Others: Share what you learn about water conservation with friends and family to encourage them to save water.
