In addition to turning the water off, we have swapped in a .5 GPM kitchen faucet aerator and two 1.0 GPM bathroom faucet aerators. We also added tank banks to our toilets and ALWAYS make sure that the dishwasher is full before we run it! (That is one of my pet peeves . . . I hate seeing a half empty dishwasher!)

This time, I flipped the photo of my son brushing his teeth with the water off . . . train them young, I say!

Here is my daughter brushing her teeth with the water off . . . I am sure that there may be years of nagging, but I doubt that it will be about turning the water off!

We're in the middle of a bathroom renovation, so to conserve water we're replacing our old hardware with a low-flow sink faucet, shower head and toilet. Here were flushing our new low-flow, dual system toilet for one the first times.

Most days I use an electric razor, but today I need a "real" shave, so I only put a little warm water in the basin to clean the razor...well under a gallon. Got to conserve!
