Eco Tips
With a damp climate it's easy to think that we have plenty of water and nothing to worry about. But water shortage is the future for many unless we rethink how we use each drop. Having a shower, cooking dinner and flushing the loo all add up to an average of 150 litres daily for each of us. But taking into account all the water needed to produce all the food and products (including clothing and mobile phones) we use, we actually get through a whopping 4,645 litres every day! This way, we indirectly affect water resources throughout the world. So, this month we will be looking at our water consumption and ways we could reduce it even more than we may have already. The best way is to go on a water meter; this will show you what you are using and you can’t only see the amount by which you can reduce consumption, but also how you can cut your bills! I think that we should all do this, so look into these possibilities, if you are not yet on a meter.
