Shower power! A full bathtub requires about 70 gallons of water, but taking a five-minute shower saves water by using 10 to 25 gallons. Put a little timer or clock near your shower so you can see how fast you are. Save even more water, and money on your water bill, by installing a water-efficient shower head, or ask your landlord to install one if you rent.

Buy fixtures and products that are water efficient – you can use less water to get the same job done just as well. When you go shopping, look for the environmentally friendly labels to find water efficient products.
