Take Care of Your Water
Think of all the ways you enjoy your water, from taking a nice, hot shower, to walking around a lake, sipping fresh water with a meal, swimming at the beach, eating water ice on a hot day, or event the fun you have when washing the dog.
Water is a precious resource and it is important for us to find ways to conserve water.
- Do you have any leaky faucets that need new washers?
- How about participating in an organized beach clean-up?
- You wouldn't, of course, be pouring any toxic poison into your street gutters, now would you?
And there are certainly plenty of ways to reduce your water use at home, like:
- fillling watering cans while you're waiting for the water to heat up for the shower or dishes,
- watering plants at the end of the day,
- not running loads of laundry that are only half full,
- not leaving the shower water running while you talk on the phone,
- running a full dishwasher a few times per week, instead of a not full every day,
- turning the water off while you brush your teeth, and back on to rinse,
- getting a rain barrel to water outside gardens with rainwater.
If you have some water saving tips, we'd love to hear about them. Please leave comments, and remember... every drop counts.
