Trap rain water and use to water your plants and garden. Choose drought tolerant plants for your landscape. Choose thrift first. And rather than throw unused possessions away, donate to a thrift store or offer up on Freecycle.org. Use water collected from dehumidifier to water your garden and flower pots.

I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores. During the vacation season, offer to water plants, pick up mail, open and close the blinds, take care of pets, for a fee…of course.
