Tips to conserving water

1. Label all cups so that everone has their own and doesn't require washing after every use.

2. Soak dishes in one tub of water and rinse them off into another.

3. Use dirty dish water from rinse tub to flush toilets

4. Only flush toilets when you have said dirty dish water

5. Use one toilet for number one and the other for number two so that only one requires as frequent flushing

6. Allot a half a bucket of water per person for bucket bathing

[To make bucket bathing more enjoyable use one of the following options: 
1. boil a small portion of the water to add before bathing
2. leave your bucket outside in the sun so it heats up
3. wait a day longer than normal to shower, the extra grime will make it that much more refreshing]

7. Stand in another bucket while rinsing so that dirty water can also be used for toilet flushing

8. Don't do laundry

9. Take a trip to the pool or the beach where they have those rinse off showers, there's no rule about not bringing soap and shampoo!

10. Have friends that will let you come over and use their water to shower.

  2. Oh and also if you live in a place where baby powder is more accesible than water, a chinchilla bath will buy you at least 3 days, 4, if your first name is Antonio and your last name is Jackson.
