conservation

Im a new zealander living in melbourne, australia for a little while and adjusting to strict water restrictions was required on the first night i arrived. It took a while to sink in that i really had to consider what i was using, or not using when i turned the tap on.
I have become so much more wary of simply turning the tap on slowly when rinsing a plate instead of absentmindedly having it full throttle. Or better still putting the plug in the sink before rinsing dishes.
