Top Ten Ways To Conserve Water
No matter where you live, conserving water is a necessity of life and a habit that is well-worth forming.
We’ve done the hard work for you and complied the Top Ten Ways To Conserve Water in your family and community. Take a peek below and see how you can better conserve your own resources.
- Refill a reusable water bottle and keep it in the fridge to avoid wasting throw-away bottles and ice.
- If you’re washing dishes by hand, do not keep the water on while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other side of the sink with rinse water.
- If your refrigerator is an older model, you should start thinking of an upgrade since many fridges use the old waster water flow to cool method.
- Adjust those home sprinklers so you’re not watering the sidewalks and you’re not watering when it’s raining!
- Only run the washer and dishwasher when they are completely full, or think of upgrading to better, more water-conserving models.
- When landscape planning, go with less water-needy plants and shrubs, it will not only save your water but your time as well.
- Be sure to install a cover on your pool and spa to prevent water loss and check regularly for leaks.
- Never use your garbage disposal, that’s what your compost heap is there for!
- Plant your trees, shrubs and plants in the fall when it’s cooler on you and rain is more prevalent.
- Keep your drinks in the fridge to cool instead of continually using ice to cool them down.
