Go Green Water : To Help Save ‘endangered’ Water
Hung Up on the Clothesline:
Give Your Grey Water a Job:
Save Up On a Rainy Day:
Use the Right Head:
Not up to the Brim:
Do not be a Drip!
Spring a leak of Public Protest!
Let your clothes hang loose instead of using energy while tumble-drying. The longer it takes to dry the more you can delay the folding and ironing. You will save 300 kg of CO2 and about Rs, 2,900 per year.
Give Your Grey Water a Job:
Grey water – the water that goes waste after using in washing laundry, food, etc. – can now be recycled and used to water your plants or flush toilets. Get creative and you may come up with other uses for grey water.
Save Up On a Rainy Day:Can the skies every dry up? Well, if you never want to find out, set up a reservoir on your roof, collect all the water from the surfaces it falls on, and bank it in a storage tank.
Use the Right Head:
Showers account for two-thirds of all water-heating costs. If you want to manage your dough, low-flow showerheads is the way to go!
Not up to the Brim:
Kettles use up a lot of energy when water is filled to the brim. Fill them with the exact requirement of water. Do not let your kettle runneth over! This way, you will save water and power.
Do not be a Drip!
You cannot put the taps under lock and key but you can certainly close your taps tight after use or better yet, replace those leaking taps. A drip can waste over 20, 000 liters of water every year.
Spring a leak of Public Protest!
Don your cape of public responsibility. Check public taps and pipelines in your area and arrange to plug the leak. Be a rebel with a cause.
Good post. Use less electricity. Turn off lights when you're not in a room, use energy efficient bulbs that use less energy.
Walk instead of driving when you can. Or ride your bike, that way you're also getting much needed exercise.
I use all envelopes as scrape paper here at my computer so everything gets used a lot Before it hits the recycle bin.
