The episode starts with Ed giving a tour of his home to his friend, Bill Nye, who is known as the science guy. During the tour, Ed reveals that he is storing water in his bedroom closet, which he collects from the shower while waiting for hot water. This is just one of the many ways Ed is saving water.

Later in the episode, Ed and his wife Rachelle visit a local water conservation expert to get tips on reducing their water consumption.
