Default Too much waste

The hot water to the kitchen sink seems to take forever to get hot water. I usually turn it on and go do something else and then come back and it's hot. I put an empty gallon jug underneath the spigot to see about how much water I was wasting for it to become hot and it was about a half gallon each time I turned on the faucet. I expect I wait for hot water about 5 times a day so that's 2 1/2 gallons a day I waste in water or 70 gallons a month. That's a lot of wasted water. Will look into options for conservation.
