It’s not difficult and does not require any cash-intensive or complex solutions. Just a few simple habits will do the trick:

 

  1. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth every morning and night! The math is quite simple. Brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes and not turning off the tap, you are sending almost 50 litres of water down the drain every day, which means 1500 litres per month and more than 17 000 litres per year!
  2. Do you like to take baths in the bathtub? If you want to be green, give up on it! A full bathtub is about 150 litres of water, and you would be actually using less than half of this water during a five-minute shower!
  3. Dishwasher! It’s a wonderful solution and not just because hardly anyone likes to do the dishes. During one cycle the dishwasher uses 15 litres of water and the same amount of dishes washed by hand would take 50 litres of water.
  4. Do not discard! Reuse water. If you have washed vegetables in  a bowl, the water that remains can be used for watering plants in your apartment.
  5. Your tap has been leaking for a long time? The never ending tip… tip… tip… irritates you, but it’s just a drip, after all. Do you know you are wasting 5000 litres of water per year this way?
