Here are some ways you can cut back on consumption while saving money on water and energy. You can make simple behavioral changes at home like turning off the faucet when brushing your teeth or shaving, and try reducing the shower time by a few minutes each day. Take this one step further by installing low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators. These energy-efficient measures reduce your home water consumption and your energy cost of heating the water by as much as 50% (eartheasy.com).
