Green Tip of the Day--Water 2 of 20: Turn off faucet when brushing

For the next 20 days, the Green Tip of the Day will focus on ways each of us can consciously conserve water.

Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. I’ve read that water comes out of the average faucet at 2.5 gallons per minute. Don’t let all that water head down the drain while you brush. Turn off the faucet after you wet your brush and leave it off until it’s time to rinse.
