Save all the water you can
Our body consists of 55% to 60% of water, which means that there is no living being that can live without water. Thus, first of all we have to save water, as every drop of it counts. Here are some tips for saving water.
- Do not drink bottled water, use water filters and water filter cartridges. City water from your tap is always in the reach of the hand. With filters that you have a great variety of, you do not need any fuel to go to shop to buy lots of plastic bottles of water.
- Check out all the taps in your house, no leaking toilets allowed. Take short showers rather than long soaking in the bathtub full of water, it also takes care of your water bill. When washing vegetables and fruits, always use a bowl and collect this water to recycle, for example to water the flowers.
- Use your washing machine only when fully loaded, and use detergents that are effective when using shorter cycles for washing.
- Wash your dishes in dishwasher, this is one of the best ways of saving water.
Regifting and donating can be fun
We all have lots of stuff in our wardrobes and cupboards we do not really need or use anymore. Consider the possibility of regifting and donating them to people who might need them. It will make at least two people happy: the one who is making a donation and the one who will receive it. That dress is as good as new, but you can’t fit in? Give it to someone who can, don’t keep it for no obvious reason and don’t waste it, someone will like it very much. Sharing is caring, as they say.
