Great post and I thought of a few more, I hope you don’t mind.
Milk jugs won’t float in the tank because it is full of water.
- Don’t run the water while brushing your teeth.
- Only wash full loads of laundry and full dishwasher because you will use the same amount with one thing or a full load.
we made a rain barrel last summer and it was great for topping our little fish pond and watering our garden.
- We keep a bucket in the shower and fill until the water gets warm instead of letting go down the drain, then use it to flush the toilet.
