Not enough water
Hose pipe ban, yep starting next month… here’s an A-Z of how to save water.
Did you know:
- a tap running wastes almost 9 litres a minute, so turn it off when you brush those teeth.
- Every time you boil an egg save the cooled water for your houseplants - I hadn’t thought of that one.
- Only fill the Kettle with enough water for your needs, I will try and remember…
- Taking a five minute shower every day, instead of a bath, will use a third of the water, saving up to 400 litres a week. Can we make it a little over five minutes, seems a bit stingy and what if you have to wash your hair?
This could get serious… Radio 4 were suggesting we start sharing bath water, only fun for those who are very small or in love.
