Scare Up Water Savings

This Halloween, take a minute to teach your little G.I. Joes and Cinderellas a thing or two about conserving water when it’s time to brush their teeth after all those treats.

Viewer Tip: Turning off the tap while you brush your teeth saves eight gallons per day, adding up to enough water in a year to take 170 showers.  And you’ll save energy, too – running the faucet for five minutes uses the same amount of energy as letting a 60-watt lightbulb run for 14 hours!

Season: Fall
