I will turn off the water when washing dishes by hand (Goal Met!)
220-large

Instead of just running the faucet while washing dishes by hand, I will fill a container (dirty pot or something) with water and then turn off the faucet.

April 7, 2011   Stephanie Star says, Next time, we could let the water run for 30 seconds and measure how much water comes out of the faucet. If we time how long, on average, we keep the water off while washing a dish, we'd get an idea of how much water we save.

October 23, 2010   Anne S. Newbie says, It was a slow start, but gradually, I have been remembering to plug the sink, or find a large pot to use for dishwater. Originally, I'd thought I ought to buy a plastic bin, & found that I really didn't need an extra container! Great project, it's made me think ahead & use less water...& I think it might make my dishwashing time more efficient!

October 6, 2010   Catriona B. Apprentice says, I actually just had my first really smooth and successful use of hand washing dishes partially filling the sink and turning the water off. It went great!
