We posted a few weeks ago about the EPA BLog Greenversations which by the way is incredibly weird to spell. Just a quick update that post garnered 119 Comments thus far. Our team dropped a couple comments in there. If anyone else would like to post.
Greenversations- Comment
Some of these comments are just common sense while others are really extreme, cool, but extreme. Some excerpts from the EPA Blog Comments.
Some Common Sense Comments...

I got in
the habit along time ago of brushing my teeth while I’m in the shower.
I figure since I’m standing there anyway getting wet I may as well make
use of my time.
I may be at an advantage here, I live alone and have started running
my dishwasher once a week instead of hand washing a few dishes
everyday. My water bill has dropped an average of $5.00 a month.

In
order to conserve water, I turn the shower off when I am washing with
soap. I also have rain barrels on each side of the garage to collect
the rainwater and use the rainwater to water my plants in the garden.
An Extreme Entry...
Tom Says:
I
know this is offbeat and humorous, but it saves water… Every day, I
walk my dog several times in our backyard. Because our yard is
relatively large and reasonably secluded, I often “do my business”
there behind thick bushes while my dog is doing his. (I try to vary my
locations so as not to stress the vegetation or groundwater, and we
live in a moist climate.) This saves several flushes a day. Obviously,
this can probably only be done by males, and certainly only by those
whose yards offer privacy. But you figure: A few gallons per flush
times 2-3 flushes a day times 300-plus days a year, and before you know
it, as Senator Everett Dirksen said in another context, “Now, you’re
talking about some real money.” I’m not a whacko or pervert or some
antisocial blogger, and I am very serious about offering this
suggestion.
