Learned to save rainwater, still do although now I have running water for the first time in 6 years.

Use it for laundry (yep - carry it bucket by bucket to my washing machine) - washing dishes, and bathing (summer only - have an outside tub)

Eat everything - no leftovers go in the garbage - less for the landfill, more for my stomach, and garbage doesn't attract pests.

I guess this post could be considered "off-topic", but thought maybe a positive approach might get more response.
