It takes me two to three minutes to brush my teeth. If I leave the water running while I brush my teeth I will be wasting 6 to 10 gallons of water each time that I brush my teeth. A lot of people brush twice a day, the amount of water wasted adds up. It only took a few days to make this a practice a habit. Some mornings or nights I would shave.
Many people leave the water running while they are shaving.
This really wastes a lot of water. I have started putting a little water in the sink and then cutting off the water. This saves a tremendous amount of water. It takes about three to four minutes for me shave. If the sink is putting out three to five gallons a minute I am wasting 10 to 15 gallons of water.
