Fix Your Leaky Faucet

Posted on June 20, 2007 by Allie

When your faucet leaks, it’s a waste of water and energy. Fix it!

DoItYourself.com has a great step by step tutorial to walk you through the process.

Our bathroom faucet was leaking hot water. What a waste! I fixed it the other day. I will admit that the language I used while fixing it was not exactly G-rated, but it wasn’t all that hard. If I can do it, you can too.

Good luck!

If It Doesn’t Smell, Don’t Wash It

According to Real Simple, if every American made an effort to launder less — cutting out just one load of laundry a week per household — we’d save enough water to fill seven million swimming pools each year.

So if it looks clean, and it smells clean, call it clean and wear it again. Consider hanging worn clothes out on your clothesline to freshen them up between wearings.
