My Daily Water Usage

Garbage Disposal: 40 gallons
Dishwasher: 12 gallons
Toilet Flushing: 30 gallons
Bathing: 36 gallons
Laundry: 43 gallons
Brushing Teeth: 4 gallons
Shower: 60 gallons

Total Water Usage: 225 gallons

This number was shocking to me, and I definitley think that I have room for improvement in water conservation. I can definitley see how shorter showers and less frequent laundry could make a significant impact in the efforts to conserve our water, because the number of gallons that I use now seem outrageous. If every person does a small part in making a conscious effort to be aware of how much water they are using and wasting, a big difference can be made.
