To reduce water usage, Karen should consider the following options from your list:
1. **Run his dishwasher only when it has a full load of dishes** - Dishwashers use a significant amount of water, and running it only when it's full can save a lot of water compared to running it for smaller loads.
2. **Replace conventional soap with biodegradable soap** - While this option is more about environmental impact than directly reducing water usage, choosing biodegradable soap can be part of a broader effort to be more environmentally conscious and responsible with water.
The other options:
- **Take baths instead of showers** - Generally, showers use less water than baths, especially if the shower is short. So, this option would not help reduce water usage.
- **Use sprinklers to water his vegetable garden** - This could lead to higher water usage, depending on the sprinkler system. Drip irrigation or hand watering is usually more water-efficient for gardens.
Therefore, the best action for reducing water usage would be to run the dishwasher only when full.
