Another Earth Saving Tip

Okay, this wont save the earth, BUT it will help cut water usage and make your plants happier and healthier!

Today is Easter and MILLIONS of families are getting ready to dye Easter eggs.  Let's just say that 88 Million Families in the US (US alone) are going to boil their eggs in 1 gallon of water.  (Some will use less, some will use more)  What happens to this water when we are finished cooking the eggs?  Yep, it usually goes down the drain.  What if we used that water to water a house plant?  The dissolved calcium from the egg helps the plants stay healthy and fight off disease.  I've even been known to add a spoonful to my cat's watering dish to give him a dose of calcium. (he doesn't like milk)

BOOM!  And just like that, Americans can save close to 100 MILLION gallons of water in a single day!  Its worth thinking about!
