A Cup of One's Own

When you’re at home and feeling a tad parched, make a habit of using the same cup for an entire day. It takes about two full glasses of water to clean a dirty glass, so getting a new drinking glass out of the cupboard for each refill means you’ll be using more water than you drink. By saving water, you’ll make sure there’s more available for your daily allotment. And, since available clean water is becoming more and more of an epidemic, conserving every drop is vitally important. Raise a glass to reusing as much as possible in 2008.
