Most water is used by fulfilling our daily domestic tasks. By changing our habits at home, we can make a great difference in the amount of water that we use. Remember, you are not just a drop in the ocean. Every change in your habit counts- so start using your water wisely!
12 Ways To Conserve Water
-When washing the dishes, do not leave the water running. Fill up the sink with water and use that water to wash and rinse the dishes instead.
-By running your washing machine/dishwasher only when they are full, you can save up to 1000 gallons of water a month!
-Shorten your showers by a mere minute or two. By doing this, you will save approximately 150 gallons of water a month.
-Wash your face or brush your teeth while you are in the shower.
-Always keep the plug in during a bath and adjust the temperature as it fills up.
-Try to take short showers instead of baths. Showers use about half the amount of water than a bath does.
-When gardening, use a watering can instead of a hose. Hoses use much more extra water that is not even needed.
-Occasionally check for leaks in the house so that no water is being wasted from leaking pipes.
-Don't wash your towels after each time you use them. Wash them once a week.
-Add less water to food when you are cooking. By doing this, you are not only saving water, but keeping more of the nutrients in your food.
-Sweep your driveway instead of hosing it down.
-Follow at least one of these guidelines every day. By doing so, you will make a great difference in the world!
