Wasting water in the kitchen
Explanation:
Ways by which we are misusing water:
1) Using your toilet as a trash can.Representing almost a third of a household’s total indoor consumption, toilets are the biggest source of water use in your home. Every time you flush a facial tissue or feminine product, you waste five to seven gallons of water.
2) Taking baths and long showers.Think of it this way, the average American shower uses 17.2 gallons of water and lasts up to 8 minutes–that’s a lot of water.
3)Laundry loads that are only half full. Ensure that each load of laundry you do is pretty full. This will be more cost effective in the long run.
Ways to conserve water:
1)Check your toilet for leaks.
Put a few drops of food coloring in your toilet tank. If, without flushing, the coloring begins to appear in the bowl., you have a leak that may be wasting more than 100 gallons of water a day.
2)Stop using your toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket
Every cigarette or tissue you flush away also flushes away five to seven gallons of water.
3)Take shorter showers:
A typical shower uses five to ten gallons of water a minute. Limit your showers to the time it takes to soap up, wash down and rise off.
