Organify: Water Saving

When cooking:

Boiling stuff? Turn the heat off a few minutes before it's done.
Things like spaghetti and potatoes don't need to be completely covered by water to get cut, so you rarely need to fill a pot more than halfway up.

Doing dishes:

Even a medium-sized pot can contain 4 or 5 gallons of water. If you're washing pots, bowls, etc. in the sink, don't fill them up when they need to be soaked. Just wash a few other items above it and it'll automatically get filled up.
Using a machine is actually more water efficient than hand washing, especially if you run full loads.

In the bathroom:

When you brush your teeth, use a cup for water.
It takes about 70 gallons of water to fill a bathtub, so showers are typically the more water-efficient way to bathe. Just keep 'em short!
Standard toilets use nearly 3.5 gallons of water, while water-efficient models use 1.3 gallons or less. If you cannot afford a new toilet, retrofit or fill your tank with something that takes a lot of space, like a brick.
If you use a low-flow shower head, you can save 15 gallons of water during a 10-minute shower.
And while we're on showers: save energy by lowering the temperature. It's better for your skin and can save a lot of money.
On average, 10 gallons per day of your water footprint (or 14% of your indoor use) is lost to leaks. Even without installing new water-efficient fixtures, you can cut your footprint by simply repairing leaky faucets and toilets.
Properly hydrated people's pee is almost colourless. Don't flush your water if it doesn't smell.

Laundry time:

The greatest energy waste involved in doing laundry is actually from heating the water. If your clothes isn't too dirty, wash it in cold water (including whites).
Use front-loading instead of top-loading machines. They typically use half as much water.
If you have a High Efficiency (HE) laundry machine, only use HE detergent!
For loads that aren't too dirty, you only need use half as much detergent as directed on the bottle (even for HE types).
