Top Ten Ways I’m Conserving Water

By now we all know that California is in the midst of a really horrible drought. So I have come up with 10 ways that I can help conserve water.

  1. Instead of using water, I will have the dogs pre-rinse all of the dishes.
  2. In fact, I’ll just bypass the dishes completely and start getting take-out.
  3. I will intentionally stop watering the plants – I definitely won’t forget and then realize they are dead a few weeks later.
  4. I will sleep in and skip my shower every other day. This is definitely an intentional choice and not just me sleeping through my alarm.
  5. All bathing, that I am up in time for, will be done in sprinklers from here on out. In fact, in order to avoid being arrested for indecent exposure, this is also how I will be doing my laundry.
  6. To reduce my laundry needs, instead of going out, I will stay in. Fewer clothes to wash.
  7. In fact, I believe I will institute a “No Pants” rule at my house to cut down on laundry further.
  8. Actually, instead of doing any laundry I’ll just buy more clothes.
  9. I will stop washing my car . . . or, continue to not wash my car.
  10. Instead of drinking water, I will be switching to wine and hard cider exclusively.
