Hey there CAD'ers! Fantastic job with the water yesterday!

Today's challenge:
I'm liking this water theme, so today we are going to be more conscious about our water use. Turn off the faucet while you're brushing your teeth. Shorten your shower. Use the dish washer instead of washing by hand, and wait until it's full to run it. Fresh usable water is quickly becoming scarce, and our generation needs to do something about it. We truly take water for granted, and we need to be more conscious of how much we truly use before it's too late.
Make a great day MFP!

    A very considerate challenge.
    My kids are in the shower for ages and we just have one bathroom.
    I think I'll remind them all too (again).

    I'm in... wish I had a dish washer but I have to do it by hand. As I say... "I AM the dish washer" lol

    I've been saying this for years! Water is going to be an issue in the future. I totally got this one.

    Excellent challenge! Waiting until after dinner to run dishwasher, which is hard for me -- because I run that thing all the time!

    I always do the dishes by hand (no dish washer here) so I filled up the sink with less water than usual, and turned the tap off between rinsing.
    Will also try to shorten my shower to less than 20 minutes (usual is 30+ minutes, YIKES.)


    I will definitely try to think of other ways to conserve water use throughout the day.
