There are many more reasons to use water wisely. Did you know that conserving water will help you lower your energy bills? Don’t underestimate the price tag on heating water for washing… Here are three easy water conservation tips. Please try them at home!
Tip 1
If you need to run the tap to get warm water for washing, use a clean bucket to capture all the litres going down the drain. This water can then be filtered, refrigerated, and good enough for you and your pets to drink.
Tip 2
Washing dishes or clothes by hand? Re-use the water left in the sink, by scooping it and pouring it in your plants. Plants don’t mind a little grey water. In fact some people swear by watering their plants with leftover coffee and tea. This is not recommended for all plants as certain species are less tolerant of acidity.
