If you have a dehumidifier in the summer, you can use that water to water your plants or add to the washer as it is filling.

Do you have one? How much water is collected everyday?

also for your bathroom sink/toilet you can now get this filtering system that will filter the grey water from your sink and use that water to flush the toilet. The water is toilet sipping animal safe and helps you reuse water that would have been typically wasted. There is something that also does the same thing for your dishwasher and such. I just read about them in the Popular Science from this month.

they had a few other suggestions to lower your enviromental impact as well.
