Day 8: Another water tip

Use leftover water to water plants.

I don’t know about you, but I am always finding half-full water cups and water bottles around the house. Most are found in my kid’s bedrooms, but I also see this a lot with the daycare kiddos after meals, when they don’t finish all the water in their cups.

Instead of dumping the water down the sink, I use it to water plants that I have inside or throw it outside and water the grass or plants out there. I don’t have to remember to water the plants each day!

In the summer, I use wading pools with the daycare kiddos, and when we empty out the pools, we do the same thing. The kiddos love to water the grass and plants around the yard. It is especially helpful when we haven’t had rain in a while!
