As the weather is turning from the warm days of summer to the brisk, cool days of fall, it is often tempting to take longer, hotter showers. When the temptation to remain in the shower strikes, remember that a 5 minute shower uses 25 to 50 gallons of water! Yikes!
Not ready to make the switch to shorter, cooler showers? Here are some other simple tips to reduce your water use:
-only wash FULL loads of clothes with COLD water
-turn OFF the water while brushing teeth
-only run FULL loads for dishwasher
Interesting facts:
-97% of the water on Earth is salty
-2% of fresh water is locked under snow and ice
-That leaves 1% of freshwater available to grow our plants, cool our power plants, and supply drinking and bathing water for our households!
