During an appearance on CBS This Morning, Phelps said, "We can all do something so small by turning off the faucet when we're brushing our teeth.. if we can all get on board, we can make a serious change." 

The first step is being aware of your water usage while bathing, washing clothing, gardening, etc. The Campaign estimates one can save up to 8 gallons of water daily by turning the faucet off when brushing teeth!  Little changes add up to protect the health of our planet.
