Skip The Prerinse

If you’re using a dishwasher, skip prerinsing your dishes. Chances are your dishwasher and the soap you use will do a perfectly fine job washing all the stuff off your plate even without the prerinse, making it a total waste of water. If you really really think it will help, just scrap off the excess rather than rinsing. It will accomplish the same goal but cost you and Mother Earth less potable water.
