Water is precious!  And there are many things we can do to protect this valuable resource.  On this page you’ll find suggestions to help you conserve and protect water.

2) Save Water and Money in the Bathroom

Grist Magazine puts together informative (and rather tongue-in-cheek) explanations of all things environmental. In this great posting, they cover everything from turning off the faucet and faucet aerators (for lower flow faucets with no reduction in water pressure) to retrofitting your toilet, with a fantastic list of links for more resources at the bottom of the page. Forgive their humor and enjoy their extremely useful information. It will help you save precious water!
