“If you turn off the water when you brush your teeth you save over eight gallons of water every day. “ If I could get Charlie to turn the water off it would be wonderful. Although I also need to remember to turn the water off so I can’t get on Charlie when I do the same thing.
With the water, we save from Brushing our Teeth we could water our garden. Or we could use the water to water our dogs. Charlie let me know we could put out bowls of water for the cats that come and visit and I let Charlie know the Birds would like the water as well. What would you use the water for?
