Another similar thing that we do is to put a little plastic cup over the hot tap. It reminds us that if we’re not going to wait for the hot water to get to the tap, then don’t bother using the hot water! This saves us from running a bit of hot water through in to the pipes where it will just sit and cool down and get wasted.

Turn Off The Tap When Brushing Your Teeth - 28 Mar 2006
This is davidjeanneret’s profile page.
I’m a husband, father, recent graduate of a Youth and Community Work and Applied Theology degree, homeowner that’s trying to reduce my enviromental footprint and become ‘more fully human’ by following God in the way of Jesus. Occasionaly I blog about the things I think are good about the way I live as far as living generously is concerned (amongst other things!).
I’m hoping that the public nature of profiles on generous.org.uk will work as some kind of accountability function for me. Feel free to talk to me about it!

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Generous is about imagining a different way of living, about innovating, trying new things, believing that things can be better, simpler, more beautiful...
