Re: Water Conservation as a Matter of First Priority

Did you know that on average, a person directly uses about 200 litres of water per day for washing (showers, toilets, clothes and dishes), drinking and food prep? 

 

Something like the WaterPebble  would be a huge help in this drought!

 

I found this image of the lake where I live, it's really sad. My kids will not get to wakeboard on this lake as I did in my youth.

For the future of our children, take extra special care of this very precious resource.

@amontagne28  Ya mate, I hear ya.  

 

Here's a pic of the lake where I grew up.

Here's a few tips I adhere to, just for the sake of the lake:

 

 

  • Install water-saving shower heads and low-flow faucet aerators
    Take shorter showers.
    Turn off the water after you wet your toothbrush
    Rinse your razor in the sink
    Use your dishwasher and clothes washer for only full loads
    When washing dishes by hand, don't leave the water running for rinsing
    Water your lawn only when it needs it
    Don't run the hose while washing your car
    Thaw food in the fridge or microwave instead of under running water
    Keep a bottle of water in the fridge for drinking instead of running the tap until the water is cool

Also, here's a fun link to more information:

Aww you guys!  Both of these pics make me super sad.  I love both Folsom and Tahoe.  Woman Frustrated

 

My niece was over the other day and hung this on my refrigerator:

 

Hope you all can use it too !
