5 Home Conservation Tips
- We have a plastic basin in our bathroom sink to catch our hand washing water which we use in the garden or to flush the toilet
2. We have a pail in our shower to catch the water as it heats up; we then use the water in our garden or to flush the toilet.
3. We have a plastic basin in the kitchen sink for washing dishes; we pour the dish water onto our outdoor plants; we also have a water pitcher and water bottles near the sink the we fill while waiting for the water to heat up for washing dishes.
4. A spray mop uses 1 cup of water weekly rather than a whole bucket for washing floors.
5. (no photo) – we’ve been using disposable diapers rather than our cloth diapers more often to save on wash water.
6. Using a baby bath or rubbermaid for children’s baths.
7. Self-explanatory 🙂
