Waterwise Wednesday: Toothbrush Challenge
Can you brush your teeth, including rinsing your mouth and toothbrush, with a 1/4 cup of water?
Yes, it is possible!
Americans waste up to eight gallons of water each tooth-brushing session. Simply turning off the tap while brushing your teeth can save over 100 gallons per month.
