7 Simple, Unexpected Ways to Save Water

Even though three quarters of our planet is considered water, there is still a demand for it in almost every community, and a scarcity in many. That’s because we can actually only use one to two percent of it, which is why we’ve written a slew of articles over the years about conserving water. And with so many items that are now more available, like low-flow showerheads, faucet aerators, rain barrels, and efficient washing machines and dishwashers, there really isn’t an excuse to not be more conscious. Unless, of course, it means spending money.

There are some surprising ways to cut down on water that you might not often think of so we’ve taken the simple things we do in our daily lives to conserve water, and wrote them down along the way. Below is a list of creative steps you can take to conserve water and we know there are a ton more - just put the thinking cap on!

1. Only order water in a restaurant if you are going to actually drink it. How many times have you seen full water glasses left on tables from customers who have ordered an iced tea or soda instead? Next time you sit down think twice about whether you are going to drink your glass of water or ask your server to fill you halfway. You can always get a refill.

2. Reuse your dehumidifier water. For those of us that have dehumidifiers we know this is an excellent source of water. Since it usually comes from damp basements, reusing it to water your plants and lawn is a perfect alternative rather than wasting it by dumping it down the drain or toilet.

3. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pot of water. Instead of washing your delicious delectables from the farmer’s market under a running faucet, fill a pot instead. Not only will you save a good amount of water, but the water in the pot can also be reused to water your plants.

4. Check outdoor hoses, faucets, and sprinklers. While many of us are very diligent about staying on top of leaky faucets and toilets, another source of wasted water could be coming from outdoors as well. Make sure to check all hoses, faucets, and sprinklers for any leaks that might occur, and check their connections as well. Many times these can often be fixed with electrical tape or duct tape.

5. Use the same glass for water. Throughout the day we drink several glasses of water. But instead of putting it directly into the dishwasher after each use, simply refill the one that you already have. This will cut down on the many glasses used throughout the day, which means there are fewer glasses to wash.

6. Know the water footprint of your food. A significant way to decrease your water footprint is to know how many gallons of water the food you eat consumes. While this might seem a bit difficult at first, you'll get the hang of it and can put it to good use when you're at the grocery store or eating in a restaurant. For example, beef consumes way more water than chicken and mangos consume more water than nectarines.

7. Reuse your cooking water. How many times a week do you steam or boil vegetables? Often that leftover water ends up down the drain. Next time, save the water and use it to start vegetable stock for a soup.Even though three quarters of our planet is considered water, there is still a demand... more

Sustainable Fuel ideas

This is my first article to tell people the best ideas to have sustainable fuel while having sustainable living and keeping the living standards good for all Americans including homeless Veterans.
Some people thinks in order to help the environment people need to be controlled, we need to suffer to help mother nature, pay high prices and unnecessary taxes, live in controlled apartment complexes instead of making homes more like nature and growing and planting more trees, and having fuel sources which would make our water standards of living poor because Ethanol (In my opinion) can take so much water and corn cobs America would go into a good crises and water crises which means high water bills, people can't have fun in their own pools, and lead to food riots and resource gangs and militants.
If thats what environmentalists want anymore then they must be screwed up because I have ideas that will save the environment and the American People.

Here are my ideas on sustainable fuel without sacrificing the standards of Westerners and finding a fuel source that doesn't suck like ethanol.

Well to first start I had made plans on scribd on how to make self producing energy stations that make money by producing the power themselves then selling that energy to cars that need them a much better and more cheaper business model then the middle man giving money to the oil companies causing prices to be way higher then what they should be.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/9940103/Energy-Independent-Fuel-Stations-for-Cars-and-Energy-Independent-Electricity-for-Homes-and-Businesses

and so I decided to write an article to help the environment and economy with a sustainable fuel idea and put an end to the war against the poor.
One of my sustainable furl ideas is that we use energy as our main source of fuel, and that we start contests to where the government will award a grant to whoever makes the best energy generators that use no resources and then start mass producing them to people that wanted to run a gas station or already runs a gas station but this time it won't be gas, it will be a energy station to where cars come in and their cars have enough fuel to go more miles then the usual miles to the gallon on gas. The cars still have an alternator using the power of the wheels turning for things like the cigarette lighter (like a power port to hook up laptops, battery chargers, etc etc). The charging stations can use whatever clean fuel source at their disposal (No govt. regulations to screw things up again) except if the source hurts people but this system would be better then even mass transportation and even cars these days. The car would be quieter and even would run better and may be even weigh less which means it uses less energy fuel to run the car. It would also cut out the big oil corporation which has screwed the American people because there's no alternative to gas and even if there was it would be expensive. So if the stations where the ones to produce the fuel then it would bring back small businesses, allow small businesses to grow and yet stay small, it would mean all communities can make more money again bringing many old abandoned towns back to life and would cut out the greedy uncontrolled (Thanx to Bush) out of control corporations that would bring us into a depression for a buck. That means in English it would cut out the middle man portion and make former gas station owners into the fuel makers and distributors. Another sustainable fuel idea is to use garbage as a fuel source because part of the reason our environment is so polluted is because of so much landfills and utilizing that garbage could help put a death to landfills and then those landfills will be gone and more can live in areas that would have became landfills and less trees would be cut down which means we will still have oxygen instead of more carbon then oxygen.
So this is all I have to say, we can help the environment without tearing apart our living standards.This is my first article to tell people the best ideas to have sustainable fuel while... more
