Aside from recycling and monitoring the types of items you use and purchase, there are many other ways that you can be environmentally conscious and participate in the go green initiative. Specifically focusing on your habits at home, watching the amount of water you use each day is one of the simplest ways you can start to go green and help reduce the amount of natural resources that are wasted each day.

Are you ready to make a change? The following are a few tips that can use to start saving water in your home:

1. Install a low-flow shower head and take shorter showers.
2. Check your toilet periodically to ensure that there are no leaks.
3. If when flushing your toilet the handle gets stuck in the "flush position," replace or adjust it to prevent water from running.
4. Turn off the water when brushing your teeth or shaving.
5. When taking a bath, only fill up the tub about half way and cover the drain before starting to fill up.
6. Only use the dishwasher when you have a full load of dishes that need to be cleaned.
7. Avoid rinsing off the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.
8. Limit the number of loads of laundry you do each week by only doing wash when you have enough dirty clothes.
9. Insulate your water pipes to avoid wasting water while waiting for it to heat up.
10. Replace leaky faucets as soon as you notice them.
