Water Conservation

 

Hello Readers,

I wanted to share four tips I live by to conserve the precious resource we know as water.

  1. Be conscious of the water flow when washing dishes or your hands.  In other words, don’t open up the stream to a point of it gushing out.  Take your time, adjust it properly and then proceed.
  2. When washing your hands, rinse them with water, turn off the stream and then proceed to lather with hand soap.  Obviously this applies as well to washing dishes.  You shouldn’t have water running while you are in the sponge phase.
  3. After rinsing in the shower, turn off the water to lather the soap on your body.  Lots of water is wasted in this case while it is not being used.
  4. This one everyone might not want to do, but I’ll share anyways.  Basically, since I hydrate throughout the day my urine is light in color.  When this happens I won’t flush as it’ll just be a waste.  Every little bit counts.

These are 4 simple tips to apply to your daily life that will help alleviate some of the symptoms of drought we are having in many parts of the country.  Our community is our responsibility and we should do everything within our power to take care of it and its resources.

What are your tips on conserving water usage?  Comment and share below.

About Alexander

My passion in life is to live free and to learn; thus, I approach life living in the moment and enjoying the ride. Not to say I don’t get caught up with goals from time to time as applying a strategy for our future is vital, yet I constantly strive to detach from any expectations as the future is unknown and being built by the present. I have learned in my life through sport that it is very easy to get caught up on the goal. It wasn’t until recently that I developed sufficient enough wisdom to truly realize the destructive manner in which I approached sports which caused all types of injuries. Having to coach myself many times, I had to learn to temper this and find a balance through my training regimens lest I end up regularly damaged physically, mentally, emotionally and, deep down inside, spiritually. Once I came to terms with my destructive behavior I found the peace and calmness I was always searching for. I still have my ups and downs, as we all do, but instead of fighting the down portions of my life I search for understanding like a soul surfer experiences the troughs of waves - feeling for a way to get back up.
