To save on water, I stopped cleaning dishes and bought paper plates
Me being an enviromently friendly person decided to help save water and buy paper plates. Washing dishes uses valuable fresh water and by using single use paper plates I can save on water and just throw them away.
What did you do today to help save the Earf

Trees are killed to make paper plates. Use styrofoam plates and cups, for a greener future.

The factories that make your paper plates use a crap-ton of h2o. Now that you're exclusively using paper plates the said factories will use even more h2o. So in the end the resources and the "Earf" are still dying.
Use regular plastic or ceramic plates just use hand sanitizer on them to clean them.

I bought plastic cups, plates and utensils because I was lazy. I don't want to wash anything even though a brand new dishwasher is like, right there. I backtracked on the utensils a bit and bought a set of chopsticks. That I wash by themselves in that big ol' dishwasher.
Well, I turned off the light in my bathroom a while ago instead of keeping it on all night...

I use bagasse plates sometimes, they are a bi product of the sugar industry and when used can be composted.

There is energy involved in their production from sugarcane pulp to plate though so its probably better to just use ceramic and very little water plus a none toxic organic detergent. Don't fill a sink with water just wash under a running tap with the detergent and a natural sponge.

Paper plates processed from pollutant factories and produced from one of many places of deforestation. Way to go modern man, you've defeated world hunger.

To compensate for the paper plates you should stop using toilet paper

Pooping in the garden gives you free fertilizer. Peeing there saves on water!

And the stink will keep away neighbors, so you can not entertain and sit in the dark huffing your poo garden. And if you huff enough of it, you won't need games or movies due to the hallucinations. And when it gets cold, you can light the poo gas garden, which will make sure you burn the house down, and then you can use the plot to plant trees and a larger poo garden!

Saving the planet was neve...

Oh yeah... I forgot about that. And how horrible for the environment paper making and recycling is...

I still approve the poo garden. Makes a better news story.

Sometimes you can be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

Dishwashers use significantly less water and energy than handwashing and treated wastewater is used to recharge aquifers.
