A pie chart example
For example, you can save on your water consumption by creating a pie chart to show all the ways you consume water and how much water each of them uses. Toilet consumption, shower, kitchen sink, washing machine, dishwasher, and any leakages can be added to the chart. For each of these, add the percentage of their consumption, the total consumption should be 100% in the end of it all. This will give you a good overview of which areas are consuming the most and which areas are consuming the least.
