Water Conservation: Eco-friendly Bath & Kitchen Solutions for Your Green Home
According to the EPA, the average American uses 100 gallons of water a day (that’s 400 gallons of water a day for a family of four). Considering that less than 1 percent of Earth’s water is available for our growing human population, it is now more important than ever to save water and protect the environment.
Installing water-conserving plumbing fixtures and appliances is an easy way to use 30 percent less household water. Not only can green Bath & Kitchen products help sustain our planet for future generations, but they can also help you save considerably on your water and sewer bills.
Through sustainable design (aka environmentally-friendly design), you can complement your home interior with eco-friendly, beautiful Bath & Kitchen accessories.
Why Should You Save Water?
Conserve water for your children.
Water may not be so readily available in the future. The U.S. population is projected to grow to 438 million by 2050, compared to 303 million in 2008. Since water is a limited resource, it’s important that we save it for the ever-growing population.
Conserve water to protect the environment.
Ecosystems are supported by water, affecting everything from land to wildlife. Saving water helps preserve our grass, trees, and all the other aspects of nature we find so enjoyable.
Conserve water to save money.
Water-efficient products can save your household $170+ per year. That’s a savings of $1700 over 10 years!
3 Easy Ways to Save Water in Your Bath & Kitchen
Any home can become a green home with these simple tips:
- Watch your faucet usage.
Turn off your faucet when you’re brushing your teeth or lathering soap on your hands. When not in use, make sure your faucet’s completely turned off all the way. Repair any faucet leaks to prevent unnecessary water waste. - Take quick showers.
A five-minute shower uses only 7-20 gallons of water, depending on whether you’re using a low-flow showerhead. If you feel you can’t live without long showers, even shaving off a minute or two off your shower time can save 100+ gallons per month. - Reuse your water.
Cleaning fresh fruits or veggies for dinner? Don’t let the water go to waste. Instead of pouring water down your drain, save the water for another use—such as watering your houseplants.
