Lawns are completely worthless and a huge waste of time and money and water. Everyone should turn their lawns into gardens and grow food. That is useful to humanity.

Here are some good suggestions that weren't mentioned...

1. Take 5-10 min. showers (Or less) Don't sit under the water

2. Turn the water off when you brush your teeth (Don't leave it running for 2 min)

3. Don't leave your sink running if you are washing dishes.... turn it on and off for each dish

Some random stuff but hope it helps!

@alMinTaGaming Smartass, it doesn't rain every single day. It can go weeks before it rains, in that time your grass can die because of the hot weather so it's required to water it. Go back to your gaming, kid.

@Darkspirith You never lived where it rained before?

@FlippyCatFanMan Have you never lived in a house before?
