Five Easy Tips for Reducing Water Pollution

1. Dispose with care: Cooking fats, medications and chemicals all pollute water systems. Keep them clean by safely disposing them in the garbage or at designated hazardous waste collection sites.
2. Permission to procrastinate: Waiting to run your dishwasher and laundry are full to run them.
3. Mindfully lather: Turn off the water while putting soap on your hands, brushing your teeth or scraping and scrubbing dishes.
4. Reuse: Eliminate single-use water bottles from your house and use your favorite Nalgene reusable water bottle.
5. Ditch the disposal: Save gallons of water by composting instead of using the garbage disposal when possible.
