  5. Collect rainwater: Use rain barrels to collect rainwater for watering plants or cleaning purposes.
  6. Water plants wisely: Water your plants early in the morning or late in the evening to minimize evaporation.
  7. Use a broom: Instead of hosing down driveways and sidewalks, use a broom to clean them.
