You don't have to install solar panels to be on board with Mother Earth. Small, everyday behaviors can be just as important. With minimal effort, you can conserve more (energy, water, trees and natural resources), create less trash and save money. Here's how.

Water

It's easy to take water for granted, but remember that for many people around the world, access to clean drinking water is a luxury. So stop being so damn greedy.
Stop Wasting By:
*Only running your dishwasher and laundry machine when they're full.
*Installing a toilet flapper and a low-flow showerhead.
*Taking shorter showers (15 minutes is just unnecessary!).
*Turning off the water while brushing your teeth, washing your dishes or shaving.
*Washing your car -- without water. Eco Touch has a line of waterless car cleaning and detailing products that will leave your vehicle sparkling without using a drop of water (go to EcoTouch.net to buy).
