The tips presented below are in no particular order, and they are intentionally brief. We think that just a few words will get the point across.
Water conservation involves three things. 1 - Not using water if possible. 2 - Using as little water as possible. 3 - Re-using water when you can. The ideas below follow these three basic notions.
|
Not using water if possible:
- Waterless hand cleaner.
- Waterless shampoo - available from health care stores and on ebay.
- Waterless body wash - available from health care stores and on ebay.
- Waterless wipes - as seen at gas stations, etc.
|
Using as little water as possible:
- Install low-flow shower heads with shut-off valves.
- Use a spray bottle to moisten toilet bowl before use and after flushing.
- Use a bowl or pan in sink for rinsing dishes.
- Some folks heat water and do dishes outside.
- Use facial tissues to remove food/grease from dishes and pans.
|
Re-using water where possible:
- Collect cold water (shower & sink) while waiting for hot water flow. Use for dishes.
- Use rinse water from dishes to flush toilet.
