Help me make our part-time farm life more sustainable

Now that we’re home, and getting over the “post holiday blues”, how did we go in terms of sustainability on the farm.
First of all we used lots of water, about 600 litres, or 60 litres per day. This is way above what we would normally use, but Doc was concreting and I cleaned the walls in the kitchen and bathroom, which took up a lot we wouldn’t otherwise use.
