Which practice should NOT be adopted to conserve water?

The practice of leaving the faucet running while shaving is not aligned with water conservation efforts. When you let the water run continuously, it wastes a significant amount of water, contributing to excessive use without a need.

Conversely, practices such as not using the toilet to dispose of trash, reducing the use of garbage disposals, and not leaving the faucet running while brushing teeth are all water-saving measures. These practices aim to minimize unnecessary water consumption and encourage more efficient water use in daily activities. For example, throwing trash in the garbage instead of the toilet helps prevent the extra water that would be used for flushing. Similarly, reducing the reliance on garbage disposals can lead to less water being necessary for their operation.
