Take the time to measure how long you normally shower, then see if you can cut off about two minutes of shower time. Obviously, a shorter shower means less water is used, but simply cutting out two minutes can save 10 gallons of water. Multiply that by 365 days, and that’s over 3,650 gallons of water saved per year. Multiply that by the number of people in your household, and it really adds up to significant savings in water.

Many of us know getting our names off junkmail lists helps reduce waste and prevents our mailboxes from getting clogged with unnecessary mail. But did you know that spam email can also lead to the waste of natural resources? According to internet security firm McAfee, about 62 trillion spam emails are sent annually, and they use up enough electricity to power more than 2.4 million homes. All of the energy used to power-up computers and smartphones -- including time wasted deleting unwanted emails -- adds up. One way to prevent this is to install spam filter software to stop spam from clogging your inbox.

Yes, even a broom needs to be cleaned periodically. In the winter months, you can make the process quick and easy by taking your broom outside whenever fresh snow has fallen. Sweep the broom through the clean snow a few times; the crystals will run through the bristles and dislodge dirt and other debris. Just be sure to do this when the snow is powdery rather than wet, so you don’t end up with a wet broom.
