Do you turn off the water when you brush your teeth?

[tuffys_daughtr]

Yep I do! Why waste the water? I also try to take short showers to conserve even though we are on a well system.

I turn it off to save water i find it wasteful just to let it keep going without no purpose behind that

[beatsdrop]

I'm trying to get rid of that habit. Oops.

[mrisha]

Yes, I do.  I pay to use water so I take care in turning it off when brushing my teeth.

I always do,trying to lower my bill.

I kill two birds with one stone and brush in the shower

[braggin]

Yes I do. Every time I turn on the water in my bathroom to wash my face or brush my teeth I think of all the people in Africa and Puerto Rico who struggle all the time to get clean safe water for their households and how wasteful of water it would be for me to just let my faucet run and run for no reason. Then I often think that it would be wonderful if I could somehow get some of my water to these people who need it so desperately.

[mrsmere]

Yes I certainly do.

Yes I do, our water is so expensive here. They wanted to raise the cost and were voted down, so they just  cut  the usage of our water by 2000 gallons so every bit counts now. In fact I will no longer  have a garden because of it . And we didn't
 waste water on it. we used a drip system on a timer. Some people here have their lawn sprinklers on timers and they are going  when it is very windy or raining, just because they want the beautiful lawns. Sure I would like ours lusher, but with a draught it is not right to waste so much. So I water ours 15 minutes and then move the sprinkler to another spot. that is all it needs to stay slightly green and alive.  Sure it takes longer but uses less water. they will leave their sprinklers on for hours for a large lawn.
