I have recently built a shed in my garden and my next door neighbour suggested that I should invest in a water butt. At first I said, what! And pay and further £30 on an already expensive shed! He proceeded to give me a lecture about how I could re use the water and finally I caved in :) I certainly don’t regret it.

REUSE your rinse water! If you handwash dishes, capture the rinse water in a bucket and use it to water plants outside or for toilet flushing (usind plant based dishwashing soaps makes the rinse water pretty benign to plants).
Don’t dump fluid from cans of veggies, etc down the drain–pour it on plants–it will provide moisture and a few nutrients,too!
Capture shower water in the tub or buckets and use that to flush the toilet–not very glamorous but it does get the water to do double duty.

I already knew about most of the things on your list but I didn’t know that a gallon of oil could contaminate a million gallons of water. Thats incredible and eye-opening!

I think this is a very good article and very educating about water. I think that there are a lot of great tips in here for trying to save money and water. We should all consider trying to do this as much as possible.

A lot of people in the north eastern part of the US have taken to storing water in rain barrels or at the very least, 55 gallon drums and using that water for watering flowers and irrigation. You do whatever you can to help conserve our precious resources.

before I take a shower I use a bucket to catch the cold water and then use that water for my
plants.

i’ve just noted that Malawi, where i come from has all the potential to go green and be much much better than where we are today …but the biggest problem we have currently is on what our mindset is like …we turn to place too much value on manufactured products that can pollute our enviroment just coz they are the thingz that are mostly used by ppo with status in here. i’ve thus liked the fact #1 that sayz first change your mindset…if i can be given more education on how to go green, it can help me change a few lives and bring some change to our enviroment as well.

I recently received a tip about unclogging drains without using draino or other harsh chemicals. Pour about 1/4 cup of baking soda down the drain, then pour vinegar afterwards. This combination fizzes while it cleans and unclogs your drain without adverse affects on the water and the earth.
I am totally a green queen. I love challenging myself to be as green as possible.
