Also making sure to turn off the water when brushing my teeth. I have been teaching my kids to do the same.

Christine Chase 10/24/2018 9:02 AMThis year I was concentrating on water issues. Taking shorter showers, not buying bottled water, turning off water while brushing teeth etc. I was not sure how the bottled water would pan out, but after buying a hydroflask I am now hooked. No more bottled water for me! Also the shorter showers have become a habit that was actually more helpful (time savings in addition to water savings!). My two main daily challenges have become a permanent thing! -
