From helping local wildlife populations to lowering energy costs, learning how to save water is something, we can all do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are three reasons you should implement water-saving methods into your daily routine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Saving Water Reduces Energy Demand and Air Pollution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Water and wastewater treatments are part of city plans and procedures. After all, we need water to shower, cook, clean, go to the bathroom, sterilize medical instruments, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These systems all require energy output to keep them running. So, that means taking steps to save water can actually reduce the overall energy demand and decrease air pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conserving Water Protects Natural Bodies of Water<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The water we use in our homes has to come from somewhere. Whether it\u2019s pumped from a reservoir or funneled in from a river, lake, or ocean, reducing water waste can help preserve these bodies of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Water Conservation Saves Money<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We get it. You\u2019re on a budget! Learning how to reduce water waste can actually save you money along the way because you won\u2019t be paying for extra gallons of water you don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll cover more on this in the next section, but your wallet will be thanking you if you follow these tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Related Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/earth-day-quotes\/\">65+ Best Earth Day Quotes About the Climate, Environment, and Nature<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>15 Ways to Save Water<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have a better understanding of why saving water is so beneficial, let\u2019s turn to those tips we promised for easy and pain-free ways to do so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Avoid Bottled Water<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, bottled water is convenient. But it doesn\u2019t do you or the planet any favors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does the packaging process require a lot of energy output, but the plastic itself can end up in natural bodies of water if not recycled properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just say \u201cno\u201d to bottled water and find reusable water bottles or cups you love instead. Most campuses, gyms, and even modern offices have water bottle refill stations that make it easier than ever to save water \u2014 and plastic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Use Soaps, Not Gels<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes time to lather up in the shower, choose some good old-fashioned soap instead of gels. While soap products likely contain fewer toxic chemicals than gels, they are also easier to rinse off, thereby conserving water consumption in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Take Showers, Not Baths<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We love a good soak in the tub every now and then, but taking shorter showers instead of long baths can also help save water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average bathtub can hold anywhere from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.portland.gov\/water\/water-efficiency-programs\/save-water-home#:~:text=The%20standard%20bathtub%20size%20has,between%2030%20to%2045%20gallons.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">30-45 gallons of water<\/a>. That\u2019s a lot! So, taking frequent baths can waste a significant amount of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a 10-minute shower, on the other hand, uses about 20 gallons of water, or two gallons per minute. And if you can shorten your shower time to just five minutes, you cut those 20 gallons in half again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a huge saving in water usage, especially when you factor in how many times you shower a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, another way you can save water while showering is to turn the water off while you\u2019re lathering up and then turn it back on when rinsing. You\u2019ll only be chilly for a second, and you\u2019ll save even more water in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Related Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/how-to-find-ethical-eco-friendly-companies\/\">How to Find Ethical &amp; Eco-Friendly Companies to Work For<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Don\u2019t Let the Water Run While Shaving or Brushing Your Teeth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The same on-off technique applies when it comes to shaving or brushing your teeth. Don\u2019t let the water simply run while you\u2019re performing these daily hygiene tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Compost What You Can and Run the Garbage Disposal Sparingly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sph.umich.edu\/pursuit\/2019posts\/benefits-of-composting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Composting<\/a> breaks down organic material, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/how-to-reduce-carbon-emissions-footprint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">food scraps<\/a> or lawn trimmings, into nutrient-rich soil. What does this have to do with how to save water? A lot, actually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you compost everything you can and use your garbage disposal sparingly, you avoid running water unnecessarily. You\u2019re also reducing methane gas emissions into the environment. (More on that another day.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Use Extra Noodle Water Around the House<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pasta can be a cheap and easy meal! But don\u2019t dump your water from boiling noodles down the drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, water plants around the house with this water waste. The starchiness can actually help them grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Related Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/how-does-pollution-affect-the-environment\/\">How Does Pollution Affect the Environment? Air, Water, Waste &amp; More<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Don\u2019t Defrost Using Running Water<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can defrost meat by running it under cold water, it takes a lot of time to do so. The best and most earth-friendly way to thaw meat is to put it in the refrigerator overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to get into this habit whenever you can. You can even set a reminder on your phone if you have tomorrow\u2019s meal plan ready to go. You\u2019ll save gallons of water in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Sweep Your Sidewalks and Driveways Instead of Rinsing Them Off<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is a little self-explanatory, but sweeping dirty sidewalks and driveways off can save a lot of water compared to rinsing them off with a hose or pressure washer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can still make your house look beautiful without literally dumping water down the drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9. Scrape Dirty Dishes Instead of Rinsing Them Off Before the Dishwasher<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, you don\u2019t really need to do much plate rinsing before you put your dishes in the dishwater. However, if necessary, scrape any leftover food into your compost bin or trashcan instead of running water over your plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Related Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/nonpoint-and-point-source-pollution\/\">Point Source Pollution &amp; Nonpoint Source Pollution (Definition, Examples)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10. Use the Right Load Selection on Your Washing Machine<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most washing machines today have load-sensing technology to help you conserve water. But selecting the right setting on your machine is always a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you\u2019re just washing a small load of regular darks, you don\u2019t need to select heavily-soiled, extra rinse settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you\u2019re handwashing items, don\u2019t just let the water run. Fill a small sink with a few inches of water before scrubbing, and then squeeze your items out before any necessary rinsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>11. Wash Cars with Buckets of Water<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be sensing a theme here, but running water for extended periods of time can be wasteful. This is especially true when it comes to washing cars or other vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, there\u2019s a quick fix to this dilemma: prefill buckets with soap and water and use sponges and rags to clean them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>12. Control Hose Flow with Automatic Shut-off Valves<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This tip goes hand-in-hand with our previous one, but installing automatic shut-off valves on hoses prevents them from running continuously while you\u2019re working on something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re super simple to add to any hose and don\u2019t require any special skills to operate. Simply turn them in the same direction as your length of hose to have water flowing and turn them perpendicular to stop the spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Related Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/best-universities-for-climate-action\/\">5 Best Universities for Climate Action &amp; Justice Around the World<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>13. Install Low-Flow Toilets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple swaps when you move into a new home can help a ton! Installing low-flow toilets can save water each time you go to the bathroom. When you add up how many times you go during the day, this can be a huge saving as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>14. Raise your Lawnmower Cutting Height<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a lawn, raising your cutting height to 1.5 to 2 inches can help save water since it helps keep natural moisture in the soil beneath each blade. This means you won\u2019t have to water as frequently, if ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>15. Fix leaks quickly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pendercountync.gov\/utl\/water-conservation-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10% of water waste<\/a> is due to leaks around your home. If you notice a higher-than-usual water bill or any leaky faucets or spigots, try to identify and fix the problem immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some leaks can be quick fixes, while others may require a professional\u2019s expertise.
