Green Tip of the Day

Green your bath.

A typical shower uses 12 gallons of hot water, while a bath takes about 20, but if you fill your bath up an inch less than regular, you will save up to 4.5 gallons.

Up the relaxation ante with inexpensive eco-trimmings such as bath salts.

Bathing with a friend is a great way to save water, naturally (showering with a friend works too).

Save baths for special occasions or stressy evenings.

Put the plug in from the beginning to save water (the hot water should warm up the initial cold water).
