Environmental Awareness: Conserving water

Environmental Awareness: Conserving water

           

          Water is one of the resources necessary for human survival. However, some people 
do not realize its importance, wasting several gallons of water a day with attitudes that could be prevented with small changes. In this page we will give some tips on how to avoid the waste of water in our homes.

1 – Take shorter showers: Baths and long showers use at least 4x the amount of water as a 3-5 minute shower.

2 – Re-use old water: Use the water from the washer again to wash the yard or watering the garden.

3 – Washer dishes once a day: If you're hand-washing, save up your dishes for one wash and use a third the water. You can rinse them throughout the day with warm-up water to make your evening job easier. All rinse water can go in the garden.

4 - Capture rainwater: Install gutters on your roof and drain the rainfall into barrels for use in the garden. One inch of rain falling on one square foot will catch over half a gallon of rain.
