The lost practice of rainwater harvesting


Here's one I think everyone could do easily. Just catch your rainwater in a container and reuse it- outside of course. At the link are a few FAQs from a site rainwaterharvesting.org.
This is a practice that had been used about 2000 years ago but fell out of favor. They did it back then even without these handy containers with a spout on them.

You'll be happy to know your big brother is already doing this.
