I'm a member of Greening Neighborhoods, an organization dedicated to the reduction of carbon footprints throughout communities. To help reduce waste of heating large amounts of unused water, I've installed a tankless water heater to provide hot water on demand. It has made a tremendous difference in my household in a postitive way.

I am a member of Greening Neighborhoods, a group of households dedicated to conserving resources while saving money. We installed a shower shutoff valve that allows us to wet down, shut off the shower, soap up and then rinse off. This, along with low flow aerators installed on our faucets has resulted in a 25% savings in our water bills and lowered our monthly water use from 4 CCF to 3 CCF.
