I was out and about, wandering the internet researching for Green Mondays, and I came across the site, SEQL.org, or Sustainable Environment for Quality of Life. I surfed around the site a bit, and came across an awesome list of ways to help save the environment… I’m going to give you a few of their ideas, and if you’d like to see the rest of them, please check out their complete list! They have a lot of excellent information about how to save the environment, and they’re all simple ideas that just about anyone can do!!! 

With it being Summer, and a lot of us are looking for ways to cool down, I think information about conserving and preserving our water supply are definitely an order!! Here’s what they have for us to try!!!

 

Ways to Use Less Water

1. Check and fix any water leaks.
2. Install water-saving devices on your faucets and toilets.
3. Don’t wash dishes with the water running continuously.
4. Wash and dry only full loads of laundry and dishes.
5. Follow your community’s water use restrictions or guidelines.
6. Install a low-flow shower head.
7. Replace old toilets with new ones that use a lot less water.
8. Turn off washing machine’s water supply to prevent leaks.
