Ways To Save Water
One of the relevant facts for the US about the current global water crisis (see https://www.water.org/waterpartners.aspx?pgID=907) is ‘The average American individual uses 100 to 176 gallons of water at home each day. (6, 7). The average African family uses about 5 gallons of water each day’ (from www.water.org/waterpartners.aspx?pgID=916).
Hmmm, it makes me think that maybe we can do with a little less water usage to help ease the water problems facing the world and we don’t have to make a huge change in our lifestyles.
Your business could:
- Use cold water wherever possible
- Have your water systems (including toilets) checked for leaks
- Install water tanks (they don’t have to be ugly blots in the office grounds as there are many nice-looking feature wall tanks and
other decorative ones available)
- If your business launders clothes or uniforms, only wash with full loads and only use cold water
- If your office has a shower install a low flow showerhead
