@missy You wash your nightclothes every day? Freshly washed nightclothes every night? God, I must be really dirty - I change mine once a week!
Didn't have kids!
This is the second best thing a human can do to reduce the consumption of everything.
The very best thing to end your carbon/water/everything footprint is to suicide, even better if you do it before reproducing.
We do not live in an area with water restrictions, but why waste it? To conserve on our water bill, we water outdoor plants with vegetable/fruit washing water. And it may be kind of gross, but it's just the two of us now in the house, so we don't flush every time (unless we have guests.)

My DH said instead of scotch and water he just drinks scotch. LOL JK
We are following the rules. We have a mild drought in our county.
We are allowed to water the lawn every other day.
I take quick showers. No baths.
I used to do four loads of laundry a day (cycling clothes/workout clothes, towels, etc) and have reduced that to one or two loads a day depending.
Of course if the drought becomes more severe I would take more drastic measures. But for now we are not in a bad situation. One positive of living in the Northeast I suppose. And rain is on the way for Monday so hopefully that puts us where we need to be re the water situation.
HI:
The water capture in the shower is brilliant. Not sure about watering a flushing toilet tho......our toilets are "low flow" Toto's. Most new appliance these days are low flow(ish).
I never run the taps while washing my face or brushing my teeth.
cheers--Sharon
That scotch and NO water is the best idea yet!!!!![]()

You don't flush the toilet with the handle at all when you use the bucket of water. Gravity works its magic when the extra water is poured in quickly and it flushes itself. However, you are left with a bowl with a lower than usual water level until you flush the toilet normally, or you can add a little more water afterward, but slowly, so it stays in the bowl.
I had already decided to give up water in place of Italian wine......
and do the "if it's yellow let it mellow" thing, which skeeves me out more than a little but makes sense.
Wow. Well, at least the drought issues are providing excellent cover for me not being as insanely clean as some. I mean, obviously I'd like to shower four times a day and launder everything I own six times a day but, yanno, drought!![]()
