The Best Solutions for Green Life

Some facts about water:
1. The bathroom in the house uses almost 70% of all water use
2. 15% of water used in the kitchen
3. The remainder is used for washing clothes and watering gardens
4. Any average person uses 300 liters of water every day

Of all water on earth, 97% is sea water. Where the remaining 3% is freshwater and only 1% are available for use around humans. Because our bodies contain 70% water, the consumption goes up with increasing population. UNESCO has predicted that by 2020, the world will experience a global water crisis. It’s time to conserve water for the sake of the environment and our grandchildren.

There are some ideas that can help reduce water use. Among them are:

1. Turn off the water faucet while brushing your teeth. Better to use glass so water is not flowing continuously.

2. Do not shower too long. Bathing is the second after the toilet water users. Average when using the shower bath will spend 15-20 Liters per minute. Bathe less than 5 minutes. Turn off the shower while you soap and shampoo. Turn on only when rinsing.

3. Check all the pipes are leaking. Leaky pipes that are left will be very wasteful if left for days. If the average is leaking one drop per second, then the result is a waste of 25 Liters of water per day and the end is 10,000 Liters per year.

4. Do not discard the possibility of water can be reused for watering plants or roads, such as rain water collected in buckets or water from air conditioning.

5. Use the toilet with dual flush system (or 2 button flush). With this system we can choose between half or full flush. Surveys have proved that this system can save up to 68% of all purposes in the toilet. One manufacturer is Caroma of Australia.

6. If you do not want to change your toilet, then you can use plastic bottles 1.5 or 2 liter filled with water and placed in your toilet.Then you will save as much as the bottles on each flush your toilet.

7. Minimize use of hot water. Hot water is very much used to convert energy into heat cold water.

8. Turning off water while scrubbing dishes and kitchen utensils.

9. Flush the plant at a time when only the morning or evening to reduce evaporation of water.

10. Use gray water system (gray water system) to put back the use of water from shower and sink marks already in the filter again. An example is the BRAC Water. Http: / / www.bracsystems.com

Let us together help each other our environment. These little things can be a great thing when done together. Every drop of precious water.
