What actions or changes in my behavior that me and my family could and would be willing to take to conserve water in our household. what do you guys think we should do differently below in all caps is our water foot print this should help: i spend 15 minutes in the shower each day. i dont always turn off the water while brushing my teeth. my household uses over 15 gallons per perspn per day just for the laundry. y household uses more than 1 gallon per day on the dishes. do not recycle any paper. i drink bottled water nire than the average american that is more than once every three days. y total house hold water use calualated out to be 5, 555.48 gallons per day my individual water use is 1, 111.10 gallons per day answer in essay format

15 minutes is a long time to spend in the shower every single day. Cutting that down to 10 would help a lot (5 would be ideal). Always turn off the water when you brush your teeth. The water only needs to be on for a second to wet your toothbrush. Why leave it on? Don't worry about the water you drink (though you should get a brita instead of bottled, because the plastic bottles are very wasteful) That seems like an awful lot of laundry. I guess with that just make sure to wait until you have a full load. Maybe someday get a washer that uses less water (front loading ones tend to use less)
