Use Commercial Car Washes; Drink Tap Water

Use commercial car washes. Getting your car washed at a commercial car wash is better for the environment than doing it yourself. Commercial car washes not only use significantly less water per wash--up to 100 gallons less--but they often recycle and reuse the rinse water.

Drink tap water at restaurants. Tap water is more strictly regulated than bottled water and there's no need to add tons of plastic and glass bottles and jugs--about 60 million a day-- to landfills. And recycling them uses energy, too.
