Green tip of the day

The green tip for today is to save water while waiting for it to get hot. I've been keeping a watering can, bucket or pitcher next to the sink, so I turn on the hot and fill up a container while waiting for it to actually get hot. I use that water for the plants, cleaning or washing hands. The money savings isn't much since water is so cheap, but I feel better not letting quite so much just go down the drain for nothing!
