1) When you make tea and don't drink it all, use it to water plants.
2) Since coffee grounds are good fertilizer for acid loving plants, which includes geraniums, go ahead and pour undrunk coffee cold (without sugar or creamer or milk) to water plants.
3) Clean but for your hair? Consider brushing it, allowing the natural oils to accumulate an extra day, and wear a scarf over your hair, or braid it. For some this is a deliberate "bad hair day," but your hair and scalp sometimes need a day off from shampoos, conditioners, and all the rest.
4) Do less laundry or less often. If an item of clothing isn't smelly or truly dirty, consider airing it out and wearing it a second time before you put it into the laundry.
5) When hand washing dishes, be sure you aren't wasting water as you rinse. Soap dishes and set aside soaped up, then rinse a load all together. You do want all the soap off the dishes since you don't want to ingest it, but this method should use less water than rinsing items one at a time or letting the water run.
