#TopTipTuesday: Set your holiday table with a pitcher of ice water instead of filling each glass. Guests will take only what they need. Use the leftover water for your pets or plants!

So important to recognize that there are still Californians hurting from the last drought we suffered! https://t.co/bRCcXTBht8

@TheLongestStraw Very true! This tip is for the RARE folks out there practicing moderation 😉

Scrape, don't rinse! Scrape off your scraps (hopefully into your compost bin) instead of rinsing them. Happy Thanksgiving!

Starting your #Thanksgiving prep? Give yourself enough time to defrost your turkey it in the refrigerator rather than using the cold water method. You'll likely need 24 hours of defrosting in the fridge for every 4–5 pounds of frozen turkey! Gobble gobble!

Day-dreaming about #Thanksgiving dinner? If you’ve got a dish to boil and a dish to steam, just place whatever you want to steam in a strainer over the boiling water — this way you won’t need to use additional water to steam your veggies and you’re using one less burner!

Did you know? Turning off the water while you wash your hair saves 150 gallons a month. That’s almost 2 bathtubs full of water!

Savings Project: Insulate your hot water pipes to reduce heat loss. Faster hot water means less water used.

Roughly 40% of the world's population lives in water-stressed areas. Can seawater desal quench our parched planet? https://t.co/Bas4vPXWaD

Happy November 1st! This month’s water conservation challenge: try adjusting your watering schedule to match the seasonal weather.
