Water is a scarce resource and therefore should be used wisely. Here are a few tips that will help to curb your water bill and save the environment at the same time.
- Always fill your washing machine as much as possible to avoid extra washes.
- Check your home for leaks – often in the toilet and bathroom.
- Reduce your shower to under 6 minutes.
- Put a bucket in the shower and use the collected water to flushing the toilet or water your plants.
- Turn off the tap while washing your hands. Wet them first then switch it off while you lather.
- Water your plants with your cooled pasta water.
- Plant drought resistant plants like succulents and reduce the size of your lawn.
