Tip of the Day – Green your New Orleans Home!

Here are 8 ways to save water without spending any $!

1. Turn the water off while brushing your teeth.

2. Fill a milk jug with stones and place it in your toilet tank to displace water.

3. Dig up an egg timer from your kitchen and use it to cut showers down to 5 minutes.

4. Turn off the water while shaving.

5. Fix toilet and faucet leaks immediately.

6. Don’t use your toilet as a trash can.

7. Collect “warm-up” water to irrigate your lawn and flowerbeds. It rains a lot here in New Orleans!

8. Conserve energy. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates that .47 gallons of water are lost for every kilowatt-hour of power generated by coal power plants.
