简单快速节约用水的方法

-Want cold drinking water fast? Fill a jug with water straight from the tap without letting any extra run, and store the jug in the fridge for later use: this way, you will always have cold drinking water without having to run the tap for cold water to come out, which is wasteful.
-想快点拥有冷饮用水？直接从水龙头里装满一罐水，不让多余的水流掉，把这罐水放在冰箱里以便以后使用：这样，你就可以一直拥有冷的饮用水而不为了得到水龙头的冷水，先让水流掉一会，太浪费了。

-Instead of buying water bottles, buy a re-usable water bottle and fill it with tap water.
-买一个可重复使用的水杯代替瓶装水，装上饮用水。

-When brushing your teeth or taking a shower, only let the water run during the rinse stage: turn off the water when brushing your teeth and shampooing.
-刷牙或洗澡的时候，只有在冲洗的时候才让水流着：当在刷牙和洗头的时候关掉水龙头。

-Only flush the toilet when necessary: this means to not use the toilet as a garbage can: throw out tissues and insects in the trash (or even compost bin) to avoid wasting water.  Every flush uses 6 liters of water, so it is best to minimize the amount of flushes used.
-必要的时候才冲洗厕所：这意味着不要把厕所当成垃圾桶，不要将纸巾和虫子这些东西扔在垃圾桶里，避免浪费水。每次冲洗使用6公升水，所以能充分减少冲洗水的数量。

-Cut your shower time by 1 minute.  It might not seem like much, a little goes a long way, which can save you up to 150 gallons of water a month.
-洗澡时间减少一分钟。这看起来好像不多，但是一点一点积累，一个月就能节省150加仑水。

-To clean your driveway, use a broom instead of a hose to save water.
-清洗车道时，用扫帚代替水管，节省水。

-Collect rain water and water the plants with it.
-收集雨水，并用它们浇灌植物。
