WATER CONSERVATION

• Don't waste water by letting it run while brushing, shaving, or doing the dishes.
  
• If your dishwasher is an "Energy Star" model, using it for a full load uses less water and energy than washing dishes by hand.
  
• Always wash clothes in a full load and use about half the "normal" amount of detergent, which is usually sufficient. Look for biodegradable detergents as well
  
• Keep showers short (3 minutes) - don't shave in the shower and use the shut-off valve while lathering your hair.
  
• If you have a car, don't wash it in the parking lot. (This is not permitted on campus anyway.) Take it to a car wash that uses reclaimed water or recycles water.
  
• When possible, use the water conserving fixtures (urinals and dual-flush toilets).
  
• Limit your use of ice and take only as much as you need. Ice-makers use lots of energy and water.
