Turn off the tap whilst you brushing your teeth

Fancy saving the world while brushing your teeth?

Most people keep the tap running all the time they're brushing their teeth. Which wastes huge amounts of water and is a bit stupid - it's like having the toilet flush the whole time you're on it.

(And if you want to see how a really efficient toilet works, look at how the new Japanese models operate. They can also weigh you, tell you whether you're on a healthy diet, and give you the winner of the 3.30 at Kempton Park.)

In fact it adds up to quite a few litres a day. And families in the developing world exist on just that to survive each day.

So why not turn off the tap while you clean your teeth?

Change your behaviour. Now.

We bet this is one of the actions you don't forget from this book. For some reason, it seems to strike a chord with everyone.
