Many people believe that water will always be available, that there's a never-ending supply. Not true! We should all learn to conserve water now. From Green Healthy Home, here are some tips that will help you conserve water, save you money, and help the environment:
Leaky Faucets - This is a common example of water waste. Fix these, even if you have to call a plumber. It will help your water bill and conserve water at the same time.
Low Flows - When you invest in shower heads with a lower flow or toilets with a low flush level, you're working to conserve water.
Running Water - When washing dishes, brushing your teeth, etc., shut the water off and turn it back on when you need it. This is something simple that makes a big impact.
Washing Dishes - If you're doing them by hand, adjust the stream to the smallest that you can manage to get the job done, but minimize the water waste at the same time. If you have a dishwasher, make sure it's energy efficient and that you do full loads.
Doing Laundry - Make sure you're doing full loads, instead of smaller ones. And be sure that you're using a washing machine that's energy efficient. This can save as much as 40% water in your household.
