Deborah likes to do it anywhere"I turn off my laptop when I'm not using it rather than putting it on standby.

Gainore likes to do it at home"I bought a largish plastic tub to stand in when I shower. The water I catch I decant into a bucket and use that to flush the toilet or on the garden. A good trick is to use it in the wash cycle of the machine, which has been hooked up for grey water recycling using the hoses that are available at most department/hardware stores - so you get to use the water to wash yourself, wash your clothes and water the garden.

Irene likes to do it anywhere"We use re-usable containers for kids sandwiches and snacks in lunchboxes, so there is no need for plastic or paper wrapping. Healthy food only of course!
