Save water! Rather than throw leftover water down the drain (from drinking cups or boiling food), use it. I keep a watering can outside my kitchen door that I use to water small outdoor plants. When I go to use it, it's already filled and ready to use.

Save water that vegetables were cooked in for making soups.

You can also do this with dishwater.
Ignore the people who say that it kills the grass and trees; it really doesn't. In fact, that is the only way my family was able to have a garden for a few years that we lived in town, when there was a drought and a ban on water wastage. Our tomatoes, green beans, and peppers all grew just as well as before and after.
Cheers!
