11. Weekly Go Green Tips 3 in 1 (08/August/2011 ~ 14/August/2011)

Only 3% of the earth's water is fresh water. Fresh water degradation is a looming crisis that we must face head on with strong and effective actions. Please protect this precious resource by adopting sustainable water practices.

Tips 31 :

Set goals to reduce your monthly water consumption --- for example, commit to using 10% less per month. Once a month, record and review the new usage figure and make adjustments on the consumption as needed to reach your goals. All these information allowing you to gauge the impact of actions you take to reduce your water consumption.

Besides, encourage family members to get active involved in finding new ways to conserve the home water, by giving them some allowance from the amount saved from the previous month water-save activities.

 

Tips 32:

Be sure to turn off the faucet/tap while you are shaving or brushing your teeth or place a basin or bowl under the faucet/tap to catch the water and use it to water plants or add it to your grey water recycling system or use it to flush your drain system, if applicable.  

Similarly, wash your fruit and veg under running water but in a way that you catch the water in a bowl and reuse it on your landscape or add it to your grey water recycling system.  

Tips 33 :

Tape signs near water tag or water outlets reminding family members to turn off water when they leave a wash room or after the washing / cleaning use, e.g. shorter showers, turning the faucet off when not needed, only watering outdoor plants in the morning or evening. Also, rotationally assign someone do regular check on the water tag leak condition.

Common sources of leaks are a toilet that is running, a constant drip in a sink or outdoor faucet sink, a loose or dripping washer connection, a home water treatment unit, an evaporative cooler unit, or a sprinkler system.
