Even if you’re the type of person that prefers to go against the mainstream, this is one time we’d encourage you to go with the flow in order to make a real difference to your life and the lives of future generations to come.
Next to air, water is our most precious resource. We can’t live without it and neither can you. Conserving water is a lot easier than you think and by doing your part, you can let those around you know how they can help as well. By saving water, you’ll also be saving money so it’s really a win-win situation. We’ve put together a few easy ways that you can save a bit of H2O and some money at the same time.
1.Limit your showers to 4 minutes. Believe it or not, this is an ample amount of time to get everything done. Don’t trust us? Time yourself and see!
2.Full Dishwasher and Washing Machine Loads. Make sure your dishwashers and washing machines are full before you turn them on, this will result in less loads and less water being used.
3.Check for and repair any leaks or cracks. This is quite self-explanatory but be sure to check pipes, toilets and taps for any leaks that could be wasting water.
4.Water your garden either in the earlier hours of the morning or late in the afternoon. This ensures that the water you’re using isn’t evaporated as quickly and your plants get the water they need.
5.Use buckets to clean floors, windows and cars. You’ll save a lot more water and your car will still be squeaky clean.
With population numbers rising every year and with it the amount of water being used, it’s important to make sure that the future generations get to experience this beautiful planet. Be sure to visit your nearest Richmond Store to find the perfect plumbing and sanware items!
