1. Turn the facet off while brushing my teeth.
This is a simple easy change - many of you may already be doing this, but you may not have known that this easy change can save up to 3,000 gallons of water per year!
Some random water facts for you:
- less than 1% of all the water on Earth can be used by people, the remaining 99% is either salt water or frozen (but I guess if we continue along the path that we are then we will have greater access to the frozen stuff)
- an average US household uses close to 260 gallons of water everyday.

This is a bit of a short post, but I'm not feeling my best and tomorrow I start my rotation at UC Davis! Wish me luck on my first change :)
