Reduce your water use from March 22nd, onwards and beyond!
Today is World Water Day and we’re celebrating by stepping away from the washer, dryer, bath, and garden hose, pledging to save water instead!
From today on, we’re pledging to wash less, line dry, buy locally, and be sensible about water use to save water and reduce our carbon footprints!
World Water Day acts as a day to remind everyone about the ever-increasing demand for drinking water, conservation of water resources, and the development of freshwater supplies. Water is a finite resource that is fundamental to human health and well-being. From food and energy security to human and environmental health, water is also an essential part of sustainable development.
When looking for ways on how you can save water from here on out, read these tips below!
- Shorten it: Each minute you knock off your shower time saves 2 – 2.5 gallons of water (and decreases your water bill!)
- Opt for a shower: A bath uses about 36 gallons of water while a 5-minute shower may use as little as 10!
- Collect it: Whether you have a bath or shower, bucket the remaining water for your outdoor plants and lawn.
- Let your fruit chill: Wash your fruits and veggies in a bowl of water rather than under a running tap.
- Soak it: When hand-washing your dishes, soak pots and pans rather than letting the faucet run.
- Spring for a new machine: Energy-efficient dishwashers use half as much energy and save nearly 5,000 gallons of water every year.
- Run it full: Only run the dishwasher when it’s completely full!
- Hang up: Reuse your towels instead of requesting a fresh set during hotel stays – do the same at home!
- Nature’s best: Cut down on your lawn watering. Choose to water once a week (if necessary!)
- Buy local: Choosing local produce means that you’re supporting small businesses and decreasing your environmental footprint!
- Eat less meat: Cut down on your meat intake to save gallons of water each day!
