Tip of the Week - Turn Off The Water
A simple way to go green now is by turning off the water while you’re brushing your teeth or shaving.
On average people brush their teeth for 2 minutes twice a day. If you leave the water running during this time you are wasting about 3 gallons in 2 minutes. By turning off the water you can help save an average of 6 gallons per day. That’s 2,184 gallons of water a year!
